GCSE Results Day 2022

GCSE Results Day 2022 – 25^th August

Students across the UK anxiously await GCSE results in many subjects, including English and Mathematics. This year's results will follow a similar grading system as the last year, considering the events of the coronavirus pandemic that interrupted students' schoolwork.

Results Day is today, and we have your backup plan in place if the results may not go your way. English and Mathematics are two of the most essential subjects to complete in school as they tend to be required subjects in almost all lines of work.

What grade do I need?

The GCSE grading system changed in 2018. The letter system has been replaced with numbers. See below:

Did you get a Grade 3 (D) or below?

Please don't fret. It's okay. There are other ways to complete the exams, and you don't have to attend more classes either.

You can achieve a Functional Skills Level 2 qualification in English and/or Maths. This is equivalent to a GCSE Grade 4 (C), and most, if not all, colleges, universities, apprenticeships and job positions will accept this as a substitute for a GCSE.

In addition, some students will agree that Functional Skills is actually slightly more straightforward than the GCSE curriculum as it deals with more of our day-to-day usage of literacy and numeracy.

How do I get a Functional Skills qualification, and how soon?

You can sign up for the online course and start today (or the next working day). You'll begin with an initial assessment determining your level in each subject unit. For example, you may be a Level 1.5 in fractions but a Level 2.3 in percentages. This means you'll have more course revision in fractions to get you to Level 2, but hardly any new revision on percentages since you're already at Level 2.

You can go through as much of the course as possible. The only thing we'll need from you to book an exam is to pass a practice test. You'll have access to this too as soon as you sign up and enrol. Once our tutors have marked the test within the week, you'll be able to book your exam(s) as soon as possible.

The average time from the date of signing up to achieving the certificate is about 30 days.

Spaces are filling up, and time is of the essence, so get in touch quickly so we can help you get your qualification.
