LIVE BLOG - Students look ahead as results day arrives

Evesham Editorial 15th Aug, 2024 Updated: 20th Aug, 2024   0

AFTER a hard fought two years, college and sixth form students across Evesham have been collecting their exam results to find out if all their revision time has paid off.

Pupils will be hoping they’ve got the grades they need to progress onto university, or their preferred training and employment opportunities.

A-Levels are graded A* to E. An A* is an exam score of over 90 per cent, while A is 80 to 89 per cent, B is 70 to 79 per cent, C is 60 to 69 per cent, D is 50 to 59 per cent, and E 40 to 49 per cent. Anything below is ungraded (U).

Return to this blog for live updates as we learn more about exam results across Evesham.
