Results Day 2022: When will A level students in Birmingham receive results? How to appeal

The day which thousands of A Level students in Birmingham have been waiting weeks is here.

A Level results day can be a stressful and exciting time for students who have worked hard all year.

It is also a day that officially brings to an end a stay in sixth form for many students.

Here’s all you need to know about results day 2022, including when it is and what you can expect from it.

When is A Level Results Day 2022?

Birmingham students will be able to pick up their A Level results from their schools and colleges on Thursday, 18 August 2022.

Results can be picked up from 8am on results day.

When will UCAS update to show my results?

UCAS will update their hub from 8.15am on results day, with your results being available throughout the day.

Make sure to keep an eye on your UCAS account to see when your results are uploaded.

What happens if I am on holiday for results day 2022?

Ideally you should be contactable on results day, so it is recommended that you are not on holiday.

According to Prospects, if this is unavoidable, you could choose to nominate someone, such as a parent or guardian, who can access UCAS Hub and make changes on your behalf.

However, some changes will be time-sensitive so your nominee may need to discuss your application with UCAS or universities within a specific timeframe.

If you didn’t nominate a person when completing your application, it’s best to speak to UCAS and ensure they have access to your UCAS Hub.

The person will be able to collect the results from the school/college office, providing they arrive with a completed permissions slip.

Can I appeal my results?

If your results don’t seem right and are lower than what you need to get a place at University, you can request a review of marking or moderation by the exam boards - through their post-results services.

According to Prospects, “appeals can be made to Ofqual by schools and colleges in England on behalf of their students.

“If your school or college accepts that an error may have been made, a review will be conducted. This will be considered by an exam board officer.

“If the outcome is still not considered satisfactory, an appeal may be considered by a panel.

“Ofqual’s Exam Procedures Review Service (EPRS) is the final review stage for considering your case.

“However, it’s important to start the process as soon as possible, as your school/college will have set its own deadline for receiving appeals, which may be earlier than the dates above.

“This is because it will need to undertake its own review before an appeal can be sent to the exam board.”
