Millions of teenagers across England and Wales will be anxiously waiting to find out their A-Level results. 

After spending their last terms studying and taking exams, many will be waiting to see what grades they got so they can find out where they will be going for university and higher education. 

Typically A-level results day takes place before GCSE results and sees pupils going into their schools to receive their results. 

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

When is A-Level results day?

Taking place just a week before GCSE, A-Level results day is on Thursday, August 15. 

On this same day, students who took AS levels and T levels will also be able to find out their results. 

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

If you are unable to pick up your results from school, you should contact your school who can inform students of the results via post or a phone call. 

How does Clearing Work?

On the UCAS website, it says that "you can apply for a course using Clearing if you’re not already holding an offer from a university or college, and the course still has places."

This can be done if you didn’t meet the conditions of your university offers, you didn't receive any offers (or didn't receive any you wanted to accept) or you’ve declined your firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in your application.

Clearing will close on Tuesday, October 17 but students have been encouraged to not waste time in going through the process.

Clare Marchant, chief executive of UCAS, told the PA News Agency: “It’s getting more competitive which means places are filled up quicker and therefore there are slightly less in clearing and the competitive stuff that is in clearing is likely to go faster.”

Once you've decided to commit to Clearing you can talk to an adviser at your school, college, centre, or careers office to discuss alternative courses and subjects.
