What you need to know at a glance:
- The tried and tested process for marking and grading continues – the standard of work needed to achieve any particular grade is the same each year.
- A student’s grade will be determined by performance in their exams and assessments.
- Most people get their first university choice, the UCAS ‘firm choice’. If a student does not, or changes their mind, there are plenty of options available, with around 28,000 courses in Clearing offering choice and flexibility.
UCAS and Ofqual will be sending a letter to students on Wednesday 16 July 2025.
