A-level results: Can I get them early and does Track update at midnight?

A-level results are set to be released at around 8am on August 15 in Wales and across the UK, with updates available on UCAS Track. Despite previous rumours, results do not come out before the official time. Students can track their university application status on UCAS Track, but it does not update at midnight. Universities inform UCAS of decisions a few days before results day, with updates available from 8am on the day itself. Results can be received via email, post, or in person, allowing for support from teachers and advisers.
