A-LEVEL exams were canceled for 2021, because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic - but students will this week recieve their preditcted grade.
Here’s all you need to know about A-Level results day 2021...
A-level exams have been cancelled for the second year running When is A-Level results day 2021?
A-Level results day will take place on August 10 2021.
And GCSE pupils will receive theirs two days later on August 12.
Normally students receive their results in mid to late August, but they have been brought forward because of the pandemic.
Bringing results day forward will ensure pupils have enough time to log appeals so A-level students don't miss out on their preferred university places for the autumn.
How are grades being awarded this year?
GCSE and A-level exams have been cancelled for 2021, because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and third lockdown that saw schools closed.
The government decided to axe this summer's testing regime with a Department for Education spokesperson saying in early January: "The Government position is that we will not be asking students to sit GCSE and A-Levels."
On January 6, 2021, Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said GCSE, AS and A-level exams in England will be replaced by school-based assessments.
The Department for Education and England's exams regulator Ofqual says teachers can draw on a range of evidence when determining grades.
This includes mock exams, coursework or other work completed as part of a pupil's course, such as essays or in-class tests.
Pupils will only be assessed on what they have been taught after months of school and college closures.
Schools and colleges will submit their grades to exam boards by June 18 to maximise teaching time.
