Options on A Level Results Day (Thursday 16th August 2018)

Poll

If you miss all of your offers, which options are you considering?

Hi so I thought I'd make a thread for those who are worrying about missing their offers on Results Day as it's 28 days away.

There's:

Retaking/Resitting A level exams

Clearing

Access to Higher Education Courses

Foundation Degrees/Courses

Apprenticeship/Degree apprenticeship

Gap years


and loads more! (please add more to this if you have any others)

Here's the TSR guide to A level results day

This is fantastic! We do have an official advice thread made in preparation for AS/AL results day but I'll speak to the Study Help team and see what they plan to do about this. :smile:
