This August, millions of students across England and Wales will be anxiously waiting to find out their GCSE results. 

After spending months revising and weeks taking exams, many teenagers will be waiting to see what grades they got so they can find out where they will be going for higher education.

GCSE results take place before students take their A-levels which typically allow them to further to University or take on apprentices or for full-time work. 

So you don't miss out on the exact day you can get your GCSE results, then look no further. 

When is GCSE results day?

GCSE results day will take place on Thursday, August 22.

On that same say, results for Level 1, Level 1/2 and Level 2 VTQs will also be available.

Can teachers see student GCSE results before them on results day?

It is likely your teachers will find out the results earlier than students but the time they receive them can vary.

Teachers don’t receive the results directly as it is usually the exams officer who will receive the results.

Students will not find out their results from their teachers – instead, students must find out when they are released at 8am.

What happens if you can't pick up your GCSE and A-levels from school?

If students are unable to pick up their results from school, they should contact their institution which can either inform students of the results via post or a phone call. 

How do I appeal my GCSE results? 

According to the UK Government website, students can apply for a GCSE, AS Level and A Level appeal by contacting their school or college to request a review of the marking. 

Private candidates can contact the exam board directly or contact the school or college that submitted their exam entry to make an appeal. 

After an appeal is made, the exam board will check the work for marking mistakes possibly leading to a change in grade. 

However, the grade and mark can go up or down compared to the original.
