I think we had to go in to school for GCSE results when I got mine - either that or wait for the post the following morning. I remember traipsing round long lists as it was all done by subject, looking for my name. I hope these days they can at least had each child a slip with their results in full on. Good suggesting upthread of getting them to take a photo of it to text you - much less likely to go wrong that way.
DSD gets hers online, apparently by 6.30am, though DSD says some years they have been available by 12.30am, which I think is a very bad idea as losing a night's sleep constantly checking to see if results have come is hardly a good basis for sorting out any issues if they're not great the next day. And parents may not be available for support at 3am!
DS has to go to school, after 10am - but must have picked them up, got home and logged into two separate sixth form email systems to input his results by 1pm - so needs to be organised. Thankfully I'm off work tomorrow, and have arranged to be off too on Friday to go with him to his sixht form enrollment, at which they will (hopefully) confirm whether they can actually offer him the courses he wants (double maths, not single).
Today, though, I am at work with plenty to distract me, and DS is probably on Super Smash Bros for the entire day, but I'm not too fussed about that - will take his mind off worrying. Think we will avoid looking at grade boundaries - will only increase worry.
Does anyone know - do they get their full UMS scores at the same time tomorrow, or just the grades?
