This year, GCSE Results Day falls on Thursday, 22nd August, and it’s quite natural for students and parents to feel nervous. As a centre based in London, we are familiar with this day and would like to reassure all those waiting for their results that we are here for you with guidance, support, and other available options.

Top Tips for GCSE Results Day

1. Organise Your Day
   It’s helpful to stay calm, as Results Day can get quite busy. Find out how and when your results will be delivered: will it be via email, in person, or by phone? At Exam Centre London, we recommend finding a quiet spot where you can review your results without emotions and stress clouding your judgment.

2. Don’t Compare Your Results
   It’s tempting to compare your results with those of your friends, but everyone’s journey is different. Focus on your own achievements and the goals you’ve set for yourself, rather than on what others have achieved.

3. Understand the GCSE Grading System
   GCSEs are now graded from 9 to 1, with 9 being the highest grade. It’s important to understand how the new numerical system compares to the old letter grades (A* to G). At Exam Centre London, we provide a detailed breakdown of what your grades mean and what your next steps should be.

What to Do if You Have Disappointing Grades

If you didn’t achieve the grades you were hoping for, there are options available:

1. Request a Remark
   If you feel that your results don’t reflect your performance, you can ask your school to request a remark of your GCSE exam papers.

2. Consider a Re-sit
   If a remark doesn’t produce the results you were hoping for, or if you’re still unhappy with the outcome, a re-sit is another option. At Exam Centre London, we offer re-sits for core subjects like English Language and Mathematics in November 2024, and for other subjects in June/July 2025.

GCSE Results Day and What Happens Next

For many students, their GCSE performance determines whether they will be accepted onto an A-Level or IB programme. It’s wise to check the grade requirements for the subjects you want to study, and consult with your school or an academic advisor if you’re unsure. Universities also usually have minimum GCSE requirements, typically in English and Maths, so it’s advisable to ensure you meet these as well.
