Direct answer
Oxford AQA does not provide a personal online results portal for A-Level or IGCSE candidates. If you are a school candidate, your school receives your results and gives them to you. If you are a private candidate, you must contact the exam centre where you registered (such as the British Council) to collect your results in person. This page explains the key differences between Oxford AQA, Cambridge CIE, and Pearson Edexcel results access for 2026, and how your results relate to UCAS Clearing.
Oxford AQA results access
Oxford AQA’s official website does not offer a personal login to view results. The exam board sends results to the centre where you sat your exams, not directly to you. For school candidates, the school will distribute the results. For private candidates, the centre that registered you – for example, the British Council – will issue your results when you collect them in person. Always check the AQA results days page for the latest information about when results are released.
Cambridge CIE results access
Cambridge International (CIE) provides an online results portal at myresults.cie.org.uk. School candidates can log in using the unique account and password provided by their school. Private candidates, however, do not have access to this portal; their results are sent directly to the email address they provided during registration. Keep this distinction in mind when preparing for results day.
Pearson Edexcel results access
Pearson Edexcel also offers an online results service through the Results area of qualifications.pearson.com. To log in, you need three pieces of information: your centre number, your candidate number, and your date of birth. All three are required – missing any one will prevent access. Some subjects also include an item-level analysis report alongside your results, which can help you understand your performance.
Using your results for UCAS Clearing
Once you receive your results – whether through a school, a centre, or an online portal – it is essential to save an electronic copy (a screenshot or PDF) of your results slip. You will need this document when you accept an unconditional offer and when you apply for a student visa. If your results do not meet your conditional offer, you may be eligible for UCAS Clearing, which matches students to courses with available places. Clearing places change in real time, so you must check the UCAS Clearing website for the latest vacancies. This article does not predict any specific outcomes or admission results.
