School and sixth-form college students all over the country are bracing themselves for the imminent arrival of their exam results. Those who haven’t done well or think there’s something wrong with their results should first talk to their teachers, and remember that re-marking and re-sitting are available options if necessary. Conversely, students who’ve done better than expected can take advantage of the UCAS clearing process to find an alternative to their initial plans or first choice of university.
