Restricted release days (Wednesday)

This is the day before students receive their results. From 12.01am, exams office staff and heads of centre only can see results on these systems:

If you're a student, ask your school or college about exactly when and how you can collect your results. Don't call us – we can't give you your results or discuss them with you. If you have queries about university places, contact UCAS directly.

We’ll send you written feedback for all centre assessed NEA components by 8.00am on results days. This will be sent to the school or college’s registered (NCN) email address, if you’ve not received it by this time, please get in touch on 0800 197 7162.
