‘No sleep, stressed out of my mind!’: A-level students’ complain of insomnia and anxiety in wait for life-changing exam results today

More than 300,000 sixth-formers spoke of their nerves this morning as they prepared to open their long-awaited A-level results.

More than a quarter of entries are expected to score a top grade, but many pupils told of their worries with a series of tongue-in-cheek memes.

They featured scenes from TV shows The Office and The Simpsons as they waited until 8am to open results – but some found out they had got in as early as 6am. 

Last year, 26.4 per cent of UK entries were awarded an A or A* grade, the highest proportion for six years. Meanwhile, one in 12 (8 per cent) entries scored an A*. 

Grade boundaries for Edexcel’s maths A-level show students who gained 165 out of a possible maximum of 300 marks (55 per cent) will be awarded an A.
