BRISTOL, ENGLAND - AUGUST 14: Students at the Winterbourne International Academy react as they open their A-level results on August 14, 2014 in South Gloucestershire, near Bristol, England. Across England, Wales and Northern Ireland students were receiving their A-level results this morning and for the first time in over 30 years there has been a slight fall in the pass rate. However, there is now a record number of university places available and some students may still get their places even if they did not get the grades. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
