How does results day actually work?

It says it in the title. My school still haven’t told me anything yet annoyingly.

Honestly I’m in the same position and it’s quite frustrating. Like do I go into school with uniform or not? What time? Where in school do I go? How long do I need to be there?

Typically, you go into school - around 8 or 9 o'clock - and your school hand you an envelope with a sheet of paper (or potentially one sheet per exam board) containing your grades. The same sheet is likely to have your actual raw marks too. That's it.
Then, at some point in November, you go back in to collect the actual certificates themselves. (Those won't be available tomorrow.)
Only your school can answer those questions, I'm afraid. Look out for an e-mail from them over the next few days.

Ok fine thanks, that’s helpful to know. It’s just that it’s so stressful that you start thinking about absolutely everything you can!

Ok thank you

No worries. The only other thing worth mentioning is that if you're not happy with a particular grade, you can arrange for a "Review of Marking" to take place, where a second examiner goes through the paper again to check that the original marking was reasonable. Your school can offer advice here (depending on how many marks you got, how close you were to the next grade boundary, etc.) and will ask you to complete a form to request this service.

Just wanted to ask now that you mentioned the review of marking, how likely is it that the result is changed. Especially if I’m confident I should’ve got better. I got history results early and ended up with an 8. I was really confused because in the mock, I cleared the 9 boundary by 20%. I don’t think I replicated my mock performance but still felt it was 9 worthy (by some way). Do you think it’s worth remarking (I don’t know the raw mark yet) and do you think the grade might be changed. Sorry, but I’m just trying to get reassurance or realism if that’s what is true.

Without knowing your raw mark, and the grade boundary, it's impossible to say whether a Review of Marking would be worthwhile or not.
In 2022, the last year for which I have data, 65% of reviews resulted in no mark change, whilst 9.5% went up one mark and 6.0% went down 1 mark. Obviously, the remainder went up (or down) by more than one mark.
Needless to say, the more marks you need to hit the next grade boundary, the less likely it will be that you get that many additional marks. There's also the risk that you loose sufficient marks that you drop a grade.
Come back to this thread (or start another one a tag me) when you have your actual raw marks and the exam board (which exam board was it, by the way?) have published the grade boundaries.

CIE. Grade boundary for an 8 was 103/150 and for a 9, 113/150. I felt like I should’ve got 115-120 minimum. I usually don’t overestimate stuff either.

History is the only subject that our school does CIE. It’s an international board so stuff is done different from JCQ supported boards. Honestly, I’d be very surprised if I wasn’t close to that 9. Thanks anyway - I’ll tag you on the 22nd once I’ve spoken to teachers about it.
