    Question is in the title

    This is assuming that the person wanting to do this has no Science GCSE at all and needs to achieve one from scratch.

    Course there is, you can do a whole new set of GCSEs, or one or two but the latter would probably be an evening thing, in your local college

    what the others are saying - in your local college you could do evening classes.
    it depends on how old you are really. it's expected that people won't do GCSEs more than 5 years after they've finished school but it's still possible - lots of adults do them!

    there may be community colleges that would pay, but more than likely you'll have to pay for it yourself - check it out because it can be pretty expensive.

    Yes. Revise and study at home and then go to a centre when you are ready to sit your exam

    You can do it at home (meaning you will have to study yourself which wouldn't be too difficult as no one really pays attention in school anyway)
