What's your point? That gives universities 4 days to decide if they want a prospective student or not, and makes stuff less messy come clearing because they've already reduced the number of people needing to beg a place.

Point is to try to stop people a) rumour mongering and b) staying up all night on wednesday and ending up in a crap state when they need their wits about them on results day.

I don't have a problem with it I'm trying to spread the word...but the ACCURATE word and not some bunch of hearsay *******s

7 August, "results received from other awarding bodies".

I'm assuming this means that UCAS got all our results yesterday? So everything is now in their hands :smile:

Since PQ actually knows what she's talking about givent that she works for a university, I'll be closing any 'OMG who's staying up til midnight???' threads that pop up and directing them here. :smile:

as at midday UCAS said that they had "started to receive files from the awarding bodies" - IIRC from previous years they usually don't have the lot until this evening.

You can't, because you don't work there or at a university.

I tried the URL (webpage address) in the screenshot, it's a uni staff only area, so you'd need to log in. PQ can get it as as IlexAquifolium says in post 6, she works for a uni.

Read the opening post again, a bit more carefully.

I doubt everyone's will be updated simultaneously, they'll probably start updating at 6:30am. PQ says "sometime between 6:30am and 9am" in the first post.

Oh right ok. lol, well in that case if it starts at 6:30 that should be ok because atleast people get enough sleep. Hopefully, I will find out before I go in to school!
