Exam results incoming! Here's how to be ready
A-level results day is on Thursday 14 August 2025, and there's plenty you can do before that day to be fully prepared.
On The Student Room, you'll find support and resources to guide you through getting your grades - including how to get ready for university and how to find alternative options in Clearing.
Here's a quick guide to what's available.
1. Find out more about results day
Save our exam results hub as one of your bookmarks. From here you can get to our results days guides and all the main discussion groups.
2. Read advice from uni application experts
University applications can sometimes get a little complicated, which is why we have Ucas-trained advisers on The Student Room.
You can ask them a question, or just read the advice they've given to others. Find them over in Applications, Clearing and Ucas.
3. Chat with other uni applicants
We've got a group chat for every single university in the UK, so you can hear from other people who have applied to the same unis as you. Find links to all of these in the uni applicant groups discussion.
4. Work out how Clearing might help you
It's a good idea to get your head around Ucas Clearing before results day. There are thousands of other course opportunities available, which people use to either trade up or find an alternative if they miss their offers. Read The Student Room's guide to Clearing to find out how it all works.
5. Get uni-specific advice on Clearing
Lots of uni reps are on The Student Room to provide Clearing advice - find links to them here.
6. Find contact details for universities
We also have all of the university phone numbers and contact details for Ucas Clearing to save you time on the day.
