1. Be Prepared
Do your research so you know what steps to take once you’ve received your grades. Make a note of phone numbers, email addresses and web access for your preferred universities. You could even have a strategy for different potential grade results.
You’ll need the following information when placing a Clearing call: your UCAS personal ID number, what subject/course you’re interested in and what results you achieved for each subject at A Level (some universities may ask about GCSE results). Write these down ahead of time so you’re not hunting for them on results day.
