Students all across the country will be receiving their A level results today after the first full exam season in two years.
Due to the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, examiners were advised this year to grade papers more leniently than in pre-pandemic years. This is to compensate for the disruption to many pupils' learning.
Because of this, grade boundaries may be more relaxed across the board, with many papers requiring a lower score than usual to meet specific grades. Ofqual chief regulator Dr Jo Saxton said: "Our grading approach will recognise the disruption experienced by students taking exams in 2022. It will provide a safety net for those who might otherwise just miss out on a higher grade, while taking a step back to normal.”
