In 2022 GCSE results day is the 25th of August.
This is the time when those who are at GCSE-exam age will find out how they’ve done.
In 2021, results day was a bit different. Due to the pandemic, students didn’t take physical exams but were given grades by their subject teachers based on mock exams, coursework and tests in class. Despite this, students still received their results for every subject on the same day: Thursday 12th August. 
The date will return to normal in 2022 as (pre-pandemic) results are published on the third Thursday in August. Last year, when grades were entirely teacher-assessed, results fell a week earlier to the second Thursday to leave time for appeals. Uniquely, it’s the first summer we’ll be returning back to proper, externally-examined grades since 2019.
In 2022, GCSE results day will be on 25th August, following exams in May and June. This is later than it was in 2021 because it had to allow for pupils to appeal the grades their teachers had given them. As pupils will once again be taking traditional, pre-pandemic exams in 2022, this extra time is no longer necessary.
