A-level grades have fallen compared to the pandemic, but are higher than in 2019 when students last sat exams.
Hundreds of thousands of students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland have been eagerly awaiting their results to discover if they will be off to university next month.
Students sat exams for the first time in three years this year after the Government cancelled them in 2020 because of the pandemic and decided it would “not be fair” for them to be held in 2021.
