What to do on Results Day
If you are expecting to receive results on Thursday 14 August, this guide contains everything you need to know.
Look after yourself
- Try to get as much rest as possible the night before
- Eat well and make sure to drink lots of water to stay hydrated
- Take breaks throughout the day.
What to do on the day
Step one - Check your UCAS Hub
A-Level results should be available on your UCAS Hub from 8am on 14 August. You will be able to see whether your Firm or Insurance choices has confirmed your place or not.
If your place is confirmed
Congratulations! Time to celebrate. There’s no need to call the university to check this and you'll receive an email with everything you need shortly.
If there’s no decision showing
You should contact us even if you haven't quite met the conditions of your offer, we may still confirm your place. If you think you may have the grades to study at Queen Mary, you can check our Clearing vacancies and grade checker to confirm you meet our entry requirements.
If both choices have been declined
Don’t panic. You’ll be able to apply for a place with us through Clearing.
Step two - Use our Clearing grade checker
Our Clearing coursefinder lists all the courses that are available in Clearing. This will give you information about the course as well as the grades you will need.
Think about the courses you might be interested in studying. This doesn’t have to be the same subject you originally applied to, so do some research about what is a good fit. Make a shortlist so that if any of them fill up quickly, you have others that you can enquire about.
What happens when you call us on results day
When you call us, have all the information ready to hand. You’ll need the following:
- UCAS ID number
- Grades achieved
- Course(s) you’re interested in (including the course code)
- Name, date of birth, phone number and other relevant information. We may need to check these for security and confidentiality
If you want someone to call on your behalf, such as your parent or guardian, we will need your authorisation to speak to them. If they aren’t already listed as your nominated contact on UCAS, you’ll need to be on hand to give us permission before we can speak to them.
Before you call, think about any questions you might like to ask and write them down so that you don’t forget. We would also recommend that you have something to write on during the call, as you may want to take notes.
