A-level results are expected to be lower than in the two years exams were not sat, but higher than when tests were last used to decide grades before the Covid-19 pandemic.
Thousands of 17 and 18-year-olds will find out their A-level results on Thursday August 18. Many will be hoping for the grades they need to get onto the university course of their choice.
This year's cohort is the first to sit exam assessments for A-levels since 2019, as they were shelved for two years due to the coronavirus pandemic. Last year, teacher's graded their pupils based on assessments like mock tests and work students did during the year.
