Thursday the 22nd of August is GCSE results day for pupils in England and Wales and Northern
00:07
Ireland. Students who've waited all summer long to find out how well they've done in
00:11
their exams finally know the answers. In England, GCSEs are now graded using a numerical system
00:16
from 9 to 1 rather than A to E as was previously the case. Students need a 4 for a standard
00:22
pass and a 5 for a strong pass. A range of emotions for those going through it and their
00:26
loved ones too but youth charity Young Minds reminds us that results are not the only measure
00:31
of success and if things do not turn out as you'd hoped there are lots of other ways to
00:35
get where you want to go. But what can be done if you don't think your grade is correct?
00:40
Firstly talk to your school or college who should be able to advise you on next steps.
00:44
They will contact the exam board to ask for your marks to be reviewed. If you're still
00:48
unhappy after that ask your school to appeal or request a review from exam board regulator
00:53
Ofqual. For those who haven't passed you can always re-sit any GCSE exam the following
00:58
academic year. Re-sits for mandatory subjects, maths and English will take place from November.
