Students up and down the country are anxiously awaiting their A level results this week. It's the first time in two years that teenagers have sat official exams for their A levels.
In 2021 and 2022, learning and exams were both disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic and instead grades were given by teachers. They were asked to consider a range of evidence, including mock exams, coursework, and in-class assessments to decide on pupils' grades.
For many, the grades they achieve will determine whether or not they get a place at the university of their choice. In England, students will get their A level and AS level results on Thursday, August 18.
