A level results day 2026

Oops...

Wonder if it was scheduled to be sent 8pm today instead of 8am tomorrow.

Good luck everyone. Hope everyone gets the results they deserve.

DD is only getting her Maths Studies result tomorrow but she really suffers with nerves so has been pacing all day. I think next year may be enough to push us all over the edge.

I think they’re less in their heads than us as parents so he’ll be fine. Just hope there’s no old lady behind him confusing her accelerator and brake 🙈

I'm more worried about something like this than the results at the moment. Son insists he is driving in to college on his own tomorrow and I worry about him driving if he hasn't slept much, but he has refused the offer of a lift.

Eek! Ds had a evening with friends, looking forward to seeing what they all get in the morning.

We are going to play the clearing roulette tomorrow.

Son has a place at local uni and there is zero chance of him missing the grades, but there is another uni that he would rather attend but who rejected him (25% acceptance rate only), hoping there are places in the morning once he gets confirmation of him hitting the required grades.

Anyone else in this boat?

I thought I’d be a nervous wreck but today put things in perspective. Dd was in a car crash - 100% other driver’s fault, proven by dash cam and admitted etc but quite honestly, while I hope for dd she gets in to her chosen uni and all goes to plan, I’m feeling pretty zen about it all. The phone call could have gone another way but she’s just bruised.

I have been avoiding the news re A grades as it’s obviously great if your dc gets As but many won’t but will still be successful in life. I really hate the news articles around a levels and GCSEs every year.

However, I can’t sleep because it’s bloody hot 🥵

Can I just send a few hugs to Ventress, if you are still able to follow x

Surrey have now added the following message onto their clearing page:

Important note: We’re aware that a text about offer status was sent to some applicants earlier than intended in error. We apologise for any confusion. If you are concerned please call tel:01483 682222 +44 (0)1483 682222 or email [email protected].

So it looks like an admin error (wrong timing) rather than, say, a hacking incident. No doubt they will be in big trouble with UCAS for breaching the embargo.

Just checking in too. Very nervous here. Wishing everyone the best for the morning.

There are lots of people who received acongratulations on your place’ text from Uni of Surrey at around 8pm today - seemingly for a a variety of courses - and received by some who had it as firm and some for whom it was their insurance.

Thank you for the thread @SilverBlue4 .

DD has just got home after being round a friend’s playing games with school friends. She seems in good spirits. She’s promised she will do her prep for clearing before going to bed. She didn’t want to do it together when I offered this morning and is a bit eye-rolly and huffy about being expected to do it.

She said her plan for tomorrow is to check UCAS and then, if she’s got her firm, she wants me to go with her to school.

She can get her results on the school portal from 8am and if she gets her uni place she will then decide whether to check her results online before heading to school to get her actual envelope and see her teachers and friends. If she doesn’t get in, we need to get the grades online quickly and stay put to try and get something in clearing in preference to her insurance.

Good luck everyone

Daily Mail reporting best A level results day ever with a lot of A's. Whether that's reliable is another matter :-)

Dd2 waiting on English language at Newcastle. She worked so fucking hard but the papers weren’t great. I am in bits, won’t sleep a wink. I went through a nasty divorce and breast cancer in the last 3 years and whilst objectively I know it’s not my fault if she doesn’t make it, the guilt will follow me forever more

Am hearing of people already getting emails regarding places, eg QMUL?!

Yep here too, and he was 18 2 weeks ago!

Rather nervous here 🫣

Tonight we have been advised this is plan in our house !

Lots of unis have released the grades they need for clearing places on the uni website already. Lots appear to be a lot lower than the grades they originally required when applying. It may help teens who are nervous about getting their place if you check tonight.

Nervous here. DD is chatty, I think she’s nervous too. We’re telling her how much she worked (compared to her siblings) and how she was ok after each exam.

DS checking UCAS at 8 then going in. He has a list of phone numbers. His first choice is our local University.Now hes saying hes not sure hes ready to leave home so only wants to go to the local university! Hes probably just panicking but it's now higher stakes if he doesn't hit those grades.

DD's come by email with instructions to go into school if things go awry and queue to speak to the UCAS advisor. She's decided she is going to get up early and read the email alone in a park at 8am. I think it'll be good to have it over with but so so hope she meets her uni offer- wishing all your young people the best also. Tense times!!

DD seems calm. Apparently she's planning on going in about 9. Her offer is way lower than her predictions so fingers crossed all will be well.

Thanks for the thread @SilverBlue4
will be checking in tmrw to see the results. DD had been anxious I think for a week or so. Out with friends watching eclipse, I think it’s better that than sitting in the room worrying about!
I bet they all talk a lot about results too, probably looking at clearing and making list together.
Good Luck everyone 💐💐

Here for this too
