Your exam boards send your results to UCAS. If you listed the wrong centre or exam board on your application then UCAS has a form you can use to update that information and ensure your results are matched to your application

Hi,

As others have said, when your exam results come out, your exam board will send them on to UCAS. You will need to enter your exam centre number in your UCAS application and that should mean everything is in order.

I hope this is of some assistance and best of luck with your A-Levels!

The centre number is less important than the exam board information and ensuring the exam board and ucas both have the correct full legal name and date of birth
