Top ten tips for results day and Clearing
For some of you, who have taken IB or BTEC, you’ll already have your results.

On the other hand, the fact that you aren’t 100% sure about what you are going to do next, and the pressure from parents and teachers to get some decisions made, or some back-up plans in place, is stressing you out.
