I think the clock has just been aimed at the calendar date i.e midnight and not the time when actual results will come out, that is unless everyone is camped outside school and they hand out results at mindight plus drinks and cookies.
The countdown clock only counts down until the 18th (midnight tonight). As far as I know, (most?) results won't come out until later on (my A2 results came out at 6.30am on results day)
