Clearing 2011: get A-level advice from our Ucas expert

Are you biting your nails as you wait to get your A-level results next month? Do you fear that they may not be good enough to qualify you for a place on a course you've set your heart on? Or perhaps you're concerned that you don't know how the "clearing" system works. Fear not, help is at hand. You can post a question for our live Q&A with Ucas adviser Scott Elliott in the comment section below. Scott will be online this Wednesday between 1pm and 3pm to deal with your dilemmas and work through your options with you – feel free to start posting your queries now. We'll also have Nick Hynes from the Exams Results Helpline to talk you through your alternatives. The helpline opens once a year around the exam results period to give panicky students access to fully trained advisers. This year it'll get going on August 4 and you can call it on 0808 100 8000. If you are in a position to offer advice – from personal or professional experience – we'd love you to join in the discussion.
