00:00 A-level results day can be the source of a lot of stress for students and if you find that your
00:04 child didn't quite get the results they were hoping for, it's worth looking into the plethora
00:08 of options available before getting stressed. Whilst university may be the preferred next step
00:13 for college leavers, if you miss out on your uni offer, the best thing to do is to ring the uni
00:18 directly and ask for some advice. Sometimes it may be worth doing a university foundation year
00:23 before starting the course the following year. University clearing is another option. This is
00:28 how unis fill any places they still have on their courses. Until mid-October you can check the UCAS
00:34 website to see what places are available. Another option is to re-sit your exams or appeal your
00:39 marks. As a matter of fact, it may even be worth asking your college for your exams to be re-marked,
00:44 particularly if it was just a mere few marks that you missed out on. Then again, university isn't
00:49 the only option. If you want to explore other education sectors, it may be worth looking into
00:53 apprenticeships and school leaver schemes. Going straight into a job is another option.
