Hundreds of thousands of students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland will get their GCSE results on Thursday.
But this year in England the marks students receive for certain subjects will look slightly different, with the new 9 - 1 grading scale replacing the old A* - G in maths, English literature and English language.
Schools have been told to expect greater volatility because of this and exam boards have been warned to expect a surge in the number of requests for re-marks.
