    They will display the UMS, which isn't the raw mark for the exam.

    Exam results on the day, yes UMS marks for each exam is displayed (or at least mine was).

    But exam certificates came through the post like 2 months after, so I cant remember about them.

    I think so, i mean in my school you get a sheet with all UMS marks and grades acheived for each unit/exam/coursework
    so i assume that most school probably do the same. We received certificates later via the school.

    The results slips in August show the marks. These bits of paper have no value as evidence of results. The certificates, which are the formal evidence of the results, show the overall grades but give no information about the marks you got. They arrive in school in late October.
