'You've got your exam results, what are your options now?'

Non-ministerial government department, The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), which regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England, has published a student guide for those affected by the cancellation of exam season this summer. Published on their website, and available as a free download, the guide begins:

'We understand how unsettling the last few months may have been for you, since schools, colleges and other providers were closed to many and exams were cancelled.

We have put in place special arrangements for this summer to make sure that the vast majority of students will receive calculated grades, so they can progress to further study or employment as expected.

The grades you receive this year will carry the same value as any other year, so you can compete on a level playing field with students from previous and future years.

This guide should help you understand how results have been awarded this year and where to find more information.'
