UK Education Secretary Gavin Williamson says he is "incredibly sorry for the distress" caused to pupils after having to make a U-turn in how A-levels and GCSEs are graded. With this continues to develop, universities are scrambling over changes and placements of incoming students.
The education secretary refused to say if he will resign amid a fresh scramble to secure university places.
"My focus is making sure youngsters get the grades that they deserve," he said.
Tens of thousands of students may now have the grades to trade up to their first-choice offers, prompting concerns about the number of available places.
And uncertainty is continuing as admissions service Ucas and universities themselves have yet to be granted access to upgraded results.
