    Depends on your school but most will give you all your results from your cashed in exam grades, and your overall grades, also you will get the results which are modified.

    At GCSE I only ever got the grade of the subject on the results slip. I'm not sure what you mean by modified ?

    modified like when the actual grade boundaries get lowered or increased because some people found it too hard or too easy

    Yes that's how your grade is calculated so it will always be according the grade boundaries of the exam you sat.
