GCSE Resits

GCSE resits are something that many students may have to consider in the near future. With GCSE results day 2022 coming round, there will be many who have passed but there will also be people who haven’t received the result they were looking for. Anyone who has failed to get a level 4 in GCSE maths and GCSE English are advised to take a resit or consider other possible alternatives like the functional skills maths level 2 qualification. 

The existing learners that we have don’t tend to have GCSE resits due to the high pass rates that we have here at Online Exams. The people that we do get contacted by for resits though are those who may have not got the passing score in their GCSE exams from elsewhere. With these students, it is important that we sit down with them and discuss what their plans are and what the best way forward may be. Functional skills maths and English are accepted at Universities and with employers around the country as they are GCSE equivalents and are usually preferred. But we understand that there may be some courses for learners that will require them to achieve a level 4 qualification, and in these cases they will need to take a GCSE resit. Our support comes in many forms and we are happy to help in the booking process for the final exams. Here are a couple of links that you can use to book your GCSE maths and English resit.

There are many advantages to just taking the level 2 exams over the GCSE retakes. You can sit them all year round so that you can decide when you feel ready and confident enough. The results don’t take as long to come back, with it being around 2 weeks in comparison to the GCSE retakes that would take 2 months. Also you have the option of taking it from your own home which may fit in better to busy schedules. And the last point we would like to make is that there is less content in the level 2 qualifications so you will not have to take as long to study all of it.

If you are in need of support and advice when it comes to GCSE retakes and qualifications in general then please get in touch as soon as you can.
