My college isn't letting me retake a Biology practical exam :( What to do?

Hi,

I need to retake a Biology A-Level practical exam which is due to be sat in March. My own college won't let me do it because they say my attendance was bad last year. I'm resitting the written exams, but without the practical they will be in vain because I can't gain an A grade without the practical. They're going to ruin my chances of applying for the course I want to...does anyone know any colleges that accept external students? :frown: This is really getting me down

I'm pretty sure you can take exams at a 6th form college as an external student. When I was doing my A-levels my school wouldn't let me take some modules in Jan, so I just done them at the local college who were doing the same exam board.

Apparently, if you contact the exam board they have a list of external centers in your area...

So you didn't go to any classes, you needed to resit both the written and practical part of the exams... and it's the SCHOOL that's ruining your chances of applying for the course you want?

Good point I guess.:rolleyes:
But we dunno why the OP missed so much school ?:confused:
Maybe you should have thought about that when you were skipping lessons last year. :rolleyes:
