THOUSANDS of GCSE students are nervously opening their results this morning – finding out what the future holds for them.<\/p>\n
Results have dropped for the second year running, with 68.2 percent of all grades marked at 4\/C and above.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is a return to 2019 levels.<\/p>\n
It follows a spike in higher GCSE grades awarded during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, marked by teachers' assessments.<\/p>\n
But in Wales and Northern Ireland, results are set to be higher than they were in 2019 but lower than 2022.<\/p>\n
Over 144,000 students in Scotland have already got their grades for National 4s and 5s, Highers and Advanced Highers earlier this month.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As well as GCSE: Level 2 BTec, Cambridge National and other vocational results are also out.<\/p>\n
But if your results were not what you hoped, what are the next steps?<\/p>\n
While it may seem disappointing, you can still get into further education, but you will need to act quickly.<\/p>\n
Think Student recommends ringing around alternative sixth forms and colleges as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

There are a number of options open to you.<\/p>\n You may even want to consider trying something different to an A-level or BTEC – with hands on vocational qualifications and apprenticeships.<\/p>\n Apprenticeships can last up to two years and you can earn while you learn.<\/p>\n What's more, they offer safe and sturdy career options.<\/p>\n Further education colleges also offer courses ranging from IB diplomas to bachelor's degrees.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meanwhile T-Levels – which focus on vocational skills and give students 315 hours of industry experience – give you a two year course qualification that is worth three A-levels.<\/p>\n If all else fails, you can always get a part-time job or simply resit your GCSEs.<\/p>\nCops find 'handwritten note in tragic Sara Sharif's home naming her killer'<\/h3>\n<\/section>\n
