Think about the things that matter to you, such as the ranking and reputation of the university, the facilities and support services, or the overall student experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk through your options with family and friends and let them know your preferences depending on the outcome of your results. Opening up to loved ones will help you to feel in control of your options and will reduce the fear of missing your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s a good idea to make a note of these universities and how you will contact them on the day. Many will offer a clearing or adjustment phone number, so jot this down and keep it in a safe place so you have it to hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My advice would be to try not to spend weeks worrying about results day, what will be will be. You can\u2019t change the outcome, so relax and take everything as it comes. Everything happens for a reason and I have many friends who were disappointed and went through clearing, yet now they\u2019re delighted at the university they ended up in! Things will work out in the end.<\/p>Emma, BA Graphic Communication and Illustration<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n To ease any uncertainties in the run-up to results day, it\u2019s a good idea to understand what the day will entail so you can act quickly and decisively whatever your results.
