Results day and the lead up to it can be a nerve-wracking experience. Especially at a time where grades seem to be one of the most important things in your life. They can hold a lot of weight and wanting to receive the grades that you want is to be expected.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
On the day;<\/strong> your school will let you know when and where you\u2019ll need to pick up your results in advance. Once the day comes, you\u2019ll arrive at where you\u2019ve been told to go and there will be stations where you\u2019ll be able to pick up your results. Your teachers will be there to support and help you if you need it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n If you\u2019ve got the results you wanted, you can start planning for the next stage, weather that is six form, college or Uni. Usually, this takes place on the same day as you receive your results. If you want to improve your grade before you start your next steps, you\u2019ll be able to ask about exam re-takes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n If you are in year 11 and wanting to go do A-levels at the same school you\u2019ve already in, you will get first dips on receiving a place in your school\u2019s sixth form. You\u2019ll be able to put your place in on the same day once you\u2019ve received your results. However, you may decide to go to college or another sixth form. Usually, you\u2019ll already have the college\/sixth form you want to go to picked out and an unconditional offer provided to you, subject to your results. Then, you\u2019ll have to notify the chosen college\/sixth form on your results. The same with Uni, you\u2019ll receive an unconditional offer, and you\u2019ll have to notify them on your results.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Overcoming disappointment in your results!\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n There may be a chance that you may receive grades that you are disappointed in and being able to deal with that disappointment is important. As there will already be teachers at school who will be there to help and support you, reaching out to them if you need to talk through things is something that you can do. Teachers can be there as a listening ear or help you get the ball rolling on where you can go next.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n There\u2019s also support within friends and family. They can be there as another listening ear and can also distract you from the results you got. It allows you time away from thinking about your results and can uplift your mood. However, having your own space can be important. Having some time for yourself can help you come to terms with your results. It allows for you to be able to decompress at your own pace.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
