Many did not know for hours whether they had a place, after problems on a key university admissions website. Hundreds of thousands of teenagers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have received the results of their A- and AS-levels. The overall pass rate is up slightly, but for the first time in 14 years there has been no increase in the total proportion getting A or A* grades. Just over 27% of entries scored these grades, with a small rise in the proportion awarded A*.
