Students across the country will be receiving their GCSE results on Thursday (August 25). It's a big day for any teenager, but especially for the class of 2022.
They're the first cohort to sit GCSE exams in two years due to disruption from the Coronavirus pandemic. So despite the freedom and excitement of the summer holidays, many people will be anxiously awaiting their grades.
Regulators Ofqual said that GCSE results this summer will 'reflect a midpoint between summer 2019 and 2021.' They added that grades 'will be higher than when summer exams were last sat, but lower than in 2021, when grades were awarded by teacher assessment.'
