For students who don’t achieve the results they were hoping for, bespoke tuition offers a crucial lifeline. We are experienced in providing personalised, intensive tutoring to help students rapidly improve their academic performance.
As we approach A-level results day on 15 August 2024, students across the UK are waiting with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. Last year's results saw a significant drop in top grades, with nearly 10% fewer students achieving A* and A grades compared to 2022. This, coupled with the return to pre-pandemic grading standards, could make this year’s results similarly challenging.
At Tutors International, we are fully prepared to assist students who may find themselves facing unexpected results. Last year, the sudden drop in top grades was a stark reminder of the shifting academic standards, and it’s likely that this year could bring similar challenges.
What happened last year and what it could mean for 2024
In 2023, the return to pre-pandemic grading standards led to a significant decrease in the proportion of students achieving top grades, leaving many students and parents feeling anxious. The competition for university places was fierce, with a drop in the number of students securing their first-choice offers, although that was partly due to the technical difficulties faced by the UCAS website during clearing.
It’s possible that 2024 could follow a similar pattern. Students who are not fully prepared for the shift back to traditional grading may find themselves disappointed with their results, leading to increased pressure on clearing and alternative pathways to university.
