2026 A-Level and IGCSE Results Dates and UCAS Clearing Guide

A verified guide to 2026 A-Level and IGCSE results dates with UK/Beijing time conversions, and to UCAS Clearing. It explains how Cambridge CIE, Pearson Edexcel, and Oxford AQA release results to school candidates and private candidates, and how to save your results slip. Official sources only.

Direct answer

For Cambridge CIE 2026 results, school candidates log in to myresults.cie.org.uk with the account and password provided by their school. Private candidates do not use this system; instead, their results are sent directly to the email address they provided at registration. For Pearson Edexcel, go to the Results area at qualifications.pearson.com and log in using your centre number, candidate number, and date of birth—all three are required. Oxford AQA does not offer a personal results portal; school candidates receive results via their school, and private candidates must contact their exam centre (such as the British Council) to collect their results slip in person. After receiving results, save a digital copy (screenshot or PDF) immediately, as it will be needed later for converting your offer to unconditional and for visa applications.

2026 Results Dates and Time Zones

A-level exam results day 2026 is on 13 August. T-level and BTEC exam results day 2026 is also on 13 August, although BTEC results may be released earlier. The supplied facts do not specify the exact release time on 13 August, nor do they provide UK/Beijing time conversions for these dates. For exact timing, refer to the official exam board and UCAS websites listed below. The date applies to results issued in the UK; Cambridge CIE and other boards may have different release schedules for international candidates, and the supplied facts do not state those dates.

How Each Board Releases Results

Cambridge CIE: School candidates log in to myresults.cie.org.uk using the account and password issued by their school. Private candidates do not have access to this system; their results are emailed directly to the address they supplied when registering. Pearson Edexcel: Use the Results section at qualifications.pearson.com. Login requires your centre number, candidate number, and date of birth—all three are mandatory. Some subjects may include a breakdown of errors (an error analysis report). Oxford AQA: There is no personal online results portal. School candidates receive their results slip from the school, which receives the results centrally. Private candidates must contact the exam centre where they registered (for example, the British Council) to collect their results slip in person.

Saving Your Results Slip

Regardless of how you receive your results, save an electronic copy (screenshot or PDF) as soon as possible. This copy will be required later when you convert your offer to an unconditional offer and when you apply for a visa. The supplied facts do not specify the exact format, file size, or number of copies needed, so follow the requirements of your university and visa authorities.

UCAS Clearing After Results Day

UCAS Clearing is the process you may use after results day if you have no offer, or if your results change your plans. The supplied facts confirm that Clearing exists and that you can use it after results day, but they do not provide specific dates, deadlines, or how to search for vacancies. For up-to-date information, including live vacancy listings, refer to the official UCAS Clearing page. Once you receive a verbal offer in Clearing, you can select ‘Decline my place’ in your UCAS Hub—this cancels your original firm choice and any arrangements with that university. You must then formally accept the Clearing offer via your UCAS Hub. No admission outcomes, vacancies, or success stories are provided in the facts.
