Clearing 2012 starts in earnest as A level exam results released

Are you an A level student awaiting your exam results tomorrow? Hopefully you will be celebrating, but it is wise to have a plan of action depending on whether or not you get the grades you need for your chosen university and course.

Clearing is not just for those students who do not have the exam results required for their university place – its an opportunity for those who did not meet the 30 June application deadline; for students who have exceeded their predicted results; and its also for those who may have changed their minds about their choice of course and/or university (although, if this is you, please think very carefully before making the decision to enter Clearing).

The Complete University Guide has straight-forward advice and information on Clearing, FAQs and guidance on what to do on Results day, Firm and insurance choices on results day, What if I just miss my grades?, together with Alternatives to full-time study.
