A-Levels: Anger rises over 'unfair' exam results as grades lower than predicted
There is anger among schools, colleges and students, after nearly 40% of A-level grades awarded on Thursday were lower than teachers' predictions.
In England, 36% of entries had a lower grade than teachers predicted and 3% were down two grades, in results after exams were cancelled by the pandemic.
School and college leaders are calling for a review and say all fees for appeals should be waived.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the results were a "robust set of grades".
The overall results, across England, Northern Ireland and Wales, show record highs for A* and A grades.
