Exam Results advice

Waiting for and receiving your exam results can be an anxious time.

Young minds, the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people’s mental health, offer advice for young people feeling anxious and nervous about your results.

Here are some top tips:

Congratulate yourself

Whether you get the results you expected or not, that’s OK. Try to celebrate what you have achieved, whether that’s academically or not – you’ve survived your exams and you deserve to be proud of that. Try to celebrate what you have achieved.

Consider your options

School isn’t the end of the world – you can do so much more, even if you don’t pass your exams. Education is everything, but education doesn’t stop at school; you can be educated on an apprenticeship and continue learning. You can do so much more – even if you don’t pass your exams.

Contemplating University Clearing?

Going through Clearing to get into a university isn’t always a bad thing.

People who didn’t get in to their first choice university went through Clearing and were often accepted to better universities than they originally planned.

In some cases, even those who achieved their target grades went through Clearing because they decided they wanted to go to a different university than they had initially applied for.

Take it slow

Moving onto the next step is a very personal thing, so giving yourself time to breathe could give you a whole new perspective.
