A-level results expected to fall to pre-pandemic levels

Kyle Bradshaw studied further maths, maths, physics, and software systems development at Down High School in Downpatrick.

He also told BBC News NI that the expected reduction in grades “worries me”.

He said that not receiving advance information about what topics would be included in exams was “quite tricky”.

The further maths exam was especially difficult, Kyle continued.

“It was one of the worst exams – my teacher even said it was at university level,” he said.

Kyle is considering taking a gap year after his A-levels before deciding what to do next.

“I have an option to work in music therapy at special needs schools – I’m trying to match maths and music,” he said.

The majority of qualifications are taken through CCEA, though some students will also receive grades from English and Welsh exam boards.

Some will also receive results of BTEC qualifications on Thursday.

CCEA will operate a results helpline from Thursday 15 August until Wednesday 28 August. The number is 028 9026 1260.

The Department for the Economy’s careers service is also operating an online advice service or you can call 0300 200 7820.
