You\u2019ve just spent all this time focusing on your studies and you\u2019re finished for the year. This means there\u2019s no use worrying now, as what\u2019s done is done.

A fully charged phone is at the top of the list, whether you have your offer or not.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally on your phone, make a list of the phone numbers for the admissions teams for the universities you applied for. If you did not make the grades, then what you will need to do is call these universities, starting with the ones who made an offer.<\/p>\n<p>You will also want to make a note of your UCAS ID and clearing number (can be found on UCAS track). This means you will also need your UCAS Track login details.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Understand the clearing process<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may not expect to go through clearing, but its best to be prepared.

Try not to get caught up in the emotions and reactions of them. Your situation is unique to yourself, which means focusing on others or comparing yourself is not going to help. \u00a0Remain calm on the day and you\u2019ll make smarter results day decisions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Check UCAS track<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the morning of the results day, before you go and collect your results physically, go and check your UCAS track.
