does anyone know if the results for edexcel come out on on the 9th. i know aqa does, but what about this?
The results for any exam on any (normal, i.e. non-private) exam board can be accessed by your school (or more accurately your exam officer or whatever the position is called) on the 9th of March if they have registered for 'ECI', an electronic system which lets them do so.
The actual results and certificates (including those from edexcel) are sent on the 15th of March, to arrive on the 16th of March at which point the results are official.
As such, it is purely school based when you get your results. Ask them.
