Students have picked up GCSE results while thousands more were hit with delays to Btecs grades.
The pass rate and proportion of top grades dropped in GCSEs this year as efforts to crack down grade inflation kicked in.
But as hundreds of thousands found out their results on Thursday, an exam board said around 5,700 students had been deemed ineligible to get grades in another qualification.
”We need to work with schools and college to resolve queries, run eligibility checks and confirm if the student still wishes to claim a grade,” a spokesperson for Pearson said. “We apologise to any student waiting for a result.”
It came a week after other pupils faced delays in getting results from the same awarding body.
