GCSE exam results are out on Thursday, for the first time since 2019.
Here’s our round up of what we expect to happen on the day (and a few things that we won’t find out until later).
Grades will fall relative to those in 2020 and 2021
Just as we saw on last week’s results day, most of the headlines will probably be about the fall in grades. Ofqual has already stated – almost a year ago – that grades this year will be set at a midpoint between 2019 and 2021, so the fall in grades should hardly come as a surprise.
That said, GCSE grades increased by a smaller amount compared to A-Levels between 2019 and 2021 so we would expect smaller drops.
