Coronavirus: A-level results to arrive in year with no exams
Students taking vocational exams have been getting estimated results over recent weeks - with 250,000 getting BTec results this year.
There have been arguments about how estimated grades have been calculated in the absence of exams - with the two biggest factors being the ranking order of pupils and previous results at their school.
