It may be that this is when universities receive results, in order to be able to make decisions in advance of results day?

Track already says its being updated for exam results so they might already have the results, but hopefully that's the reason, cause a l o t of other sources are saying the 13th.

Universities should have results by now; schools get them the day before, but there is an embargo on releasing them to candidates before the morning of the official results day, which this year is thev13th for A levels and 20th for GCSEs.

Looking at the screenshot, however, this relates to.'international' exams, which may have a different timetable?

Alright, I'm an international student so I guess it's best to just assume it'll come out on Tuesday then. Not sure if that means we'll get track updated sooner or not, guess I'll just have to wait

Track doesn’t update early for IAL applicants. It stays locked and your universities are covered by strict embargo not to discuss your application until 8am on the 13

Yes, but that will be from 0800 on the 13th, when the embargo is lifted. In previous years, the embargo ended at 6am (so those universities which contacted students e.g. at midnight were still breaking it); Track updating at, say, 07.30 was still earlier than people were likely to be collecting their results from school.
