I believe today is the results day for A Levels.

Reading the Guardian Live blog, it mentions that the pass rate is 97.6%.

The blog does have some remarkable insight into A Levels too:

7.58am: Amusingly, as we are looking for photographs of people receiving their results to beautify this blog - as yet we can only find pictures of girls. By some lucky twist of fate also all appear to be incredibly attractive! I knew A Level students were becoming cleverer by the year, but better looking too? And blonder? Lucky, lucky, Britain.

So anyone here who was expecting results today?

Inshallah it all went well?

On a more worrying front for those that may not have got the results they wanted, there are apparently fewer places overall and fewer clearing places this year too - clearing places being down from 32,000 to 20,000. Something to do with a quota system from the government where they want to fund less people.

International students who would be paying over the odds to get on their courses have more choice here, but they can also get arrested without real evidence and have their lives ruined...
