Exam results

Step 4: Results

If you're taking any of the qualifications listed below, we match what you list on your application with the records of exam entries and with the results received from the awarding organisations (the exam boards) which set and mark your papers. We then send your results automatically to the universities and colleges where you are holding offers.

For the exam results we receive, we only process the overall result and pass this on to the universities and colleges. In some cases where the exam is a modular set of subjects eg BTEC, International Baccalaureate and Irish Leaving Certificate, we pass on the subjects taken and the grade associated with these. For A levels we process the unit grades associated with your overall grade.

If your qualification is not below, you're responsible for sending your chosen universities and colleges your results.
