I lost my gcse results how screwed am I

So I finished secondary school in 2019 and I did really terrible. I remember shoving my grades letter in a draw somewhere and not taking a picture or anything. I've moved since then and I don't have the results slip. I also didn't receive the certificates in the post like a lot of people did but I didn't really think about it at the time.

I've now just finished college and I did really decent and I want to apply to uni now but I don't have my GCSE grades, I remember them off the top of my head but not my exam boards or anything like that. I know its really irresponsible and stupid of me but I have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any advice?

Edit: I phoned my old school today and they had my results :smile:

I would get into contact with your old school to see if they still have your GCSE certificates

And even if they dont have the certificates, they will have a record that they can print out for you.

You should contact your secondary school and ask for a transcript of your results as they might still have them!🤞

Also bear in mind that you can directly contact certain exam boards, here's Pearson's as an example.
