For many of you it will have been your first experience of sitting external exams, so you should be proud of this achievement.  \nNow, as you wait to get your results, we want to share some helpful information with you about what to expect on results day and where to find further support should you need it.  \nResults days  \nResults will be available to students on:  \nThursday 13 August  \nAS, A level, AEA, Edexcel Award Level 3, Project Level 3, Mathematics in Context, BTEC Nationals, T Levels Technical Qualifications.  \nThursday 20 August  \nGCSE, International GCSE, Project Level 1 and 2, Edexcel Award Level 1 and 2, ELC, BTEC Firsts, Technicals and Tech Awards.  \nReceiving and understanding your results  \nYour school or college will let you know how they’ll provide your results.  \nIf you’re a private candidate, please get in touch with the school or college where you sat your exams to confirm how you’ll receive your results.  \nResults slips  \nOn results day, you’ll receive a results slip that will show your provisional results. Your school or college may produce a combined results slip with the results from all exam boards. All results are provisional (pending any post-results services outcomes that you may have applied for) until you receive your results certificate.  \nYour results slip will show unit results, componentlevel marks and your overall grade. It will also show the grade for any endorsements such as the GCSE English Spoken Language Endorsement or the A level Sciences Practical Skills Endorsement.  \nThis grade will appear in a separate line on your results certificate but does not contribute to the overall final grade.  \nGrades and  \ngrade boundaries  \n• All GCSEs are now graded 9 – 1, with 9 being the highest grade.  \n• A levels are gradedA* – E, with A* being the highest grade.  \nGrade boundaries  \nAll exam boards set grade boundaries. Grade boundaries are the minimum mark needed to achieve a certain grade. They are set after the exams have taken place and all the marking is complete. Grade boundaries are published on our website from results day at:  \n[quals.pearson.com/gradeboundaries](quals.pearson.com/gradeboundaries).  \nOfqual has clear guidance to help students understand what to expect before, during and after their exams and assessments.  Please take a look atthe information from Ofqual.  \nWhat can Ido if I’m not happy with my results?  \nIf you’re not happy with some of the results you’ve received, the first thing you need to do is talk to your teacher or your exams officer. They’ll be best placed to help you and decide what the next step is.  \nHow can my school or college help me?  \n• Your school or college could request to see a copy of your exam script, with your written permission. They may also apply for a review of marking or moderation on your behalf.  \n• A review of marking or moderation can only be requested by your school or college, not by individual candidates or parents. The only exception to this is private candidates.  \n• There may be a fee charged for the service requested, but whether this fee is passed on to candidates depends on your school or college, so please speak to them.  \n• There are different deadlines for applications and reviews of marking. Therefore, if you’re waiting for confirmation of a university place, we’d recommend you let your university know so they can take this into account when making their decisions.  \nIt’s important to remember that areview of marking or moderation can result in your grade going up, down or remaining the same.  \n• Once you’ve received the outcome of the review, if you’re still not happy with your results, please speak to your school ","cbCaicz1aALr2p2B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicz1aALr2p2B","pdf",920590,"English","# Results days\n## Receiving and understanding your results\n## Grades and grade boundaries\n## What can I do if I’m not happy with my results?\n## University applications\n## Certificates","[{\"question\":\"When will results be available for different qualifications?\",\"answer\":\"Results are available to students on Thursday 13 August for AS, A level and other specified qualifications, and on Thursday 20 August for GCSE and additional Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications.
