Press Release
Congratulations to all students!
16th August 2007
Results Day is the culmination of hard work for hundreds of thousands of students around the world.
We offer our congratulations to each and every one of you - whatever you have studied - and also to your teachers, lecturers and to your families who have supported you.
Well done! We are proud of you.
For many students this year however, the spectre of exam results pinned to a notice board and envelopes being torn open in the school grounds is a thing of the past. Over the next week more than 60,000 students in the UK are set to receive their A-level (16th August) and GCSE results (23rd) online with Edexcel's new ResultsPlus service. ResultsPlus allows students to see their overall grade for every Edexcel exam on screen through a secure log in process, along with a Gradeometer which represents graphically how close they are to the nearest grade boundary. It also provides links to useful sources of information and support from Edexcel's student-dedicated website, Examzone.
Over 30,000 students logged on for their A-level results this morning with thousands getting online as soon as the service opened at 6am to see how they had done. Click here to read one student's success story.
Edexcel also received record hits on its examzone site and its new Myspace page, receiving 10,000 hits on Wednesday and Thursday.
ResultsPlus allows head teachers to compare their school or college's results against the national average, compare results by type of centre, sort results by teaching group or gender and make detailed observations about students' performance in just a few clicks. Analysis will show how students have performed in each subject, providing question-by-question detail at both class and individual student level. Chris Montacute, Head Teacher at Wootton Bassett School, Swindon said: "This service ensures results are fast, informative and a tool for ongoing learning. Results Plus will help raise achievement in our school, helping students understand where they need to improve. Excellent."
