    Honestly, I doubt anyone here will have a clue.

    Log in to your account on CAO website after 6, and see if there's anything there.

    True ... but in fairness, it's not the CAO's fault, the problem is with the A-Level results people.

    it's definitely frustrating :( maybe you should ring the exam boards yourself, pretending to be from cao and get them that way? :D

    Coz they have nothing to do at the moment, ofc!

    And how many other people are in the same position?

    Tbh, while I feel for you, this is NOT the CAO's fault, it is the fault of the results people for A-level who didn't get their house in order.

    This is my point ... do you honestly believe the CAO has spare staff at this time of year to go "ringing up" about ~1000 students?

    Or that the A-Level results people have the staff to field those queries?

    And for that matter, who says the results are finalised and available now, if they are not supposed to be due out until Friday?

    The CAO set their schedule well in advance (it's the same every year!), it was only announced A-level results would be delayed a few months ago (back in May/June, I think).

    I'm in the same situation, but there's no point blaming the CAO, as it's completely the boards' fault. They don't give a damn about the CAO process or the students it affects, tbh.

    If anything, take it up with the boards directly for being so lazy and irresponsible (I know I will be).
