The exams officer said a gap year is inconvenient enough for most students and we dont like to add to their troubles by charging ridiculous prices like other colleges do.

Shes right, dont see why you're being charged a £30 admin fee. She even said entering students for an exam isn't time consuming or difficult. So I guess most colleges just like ripping people off.

Plus I got a discount because I studied there.

That's really understanding and commendable of your college. You right the colleges do like to rip people off, it isn't hard to enter students as I went in and they just filled out some forms and that was it it literally took 15 minutes ha

Ahh yeah know what you mean by that. What I am going to do is just go in for my exams and hopefully not see anyone. I am doing 7 over the space of 5 weeks, and each is about 1-30 hours to 2 hours long so I will just do them then come straight back home


where you doing them?

What college?

What college is that and is it in London? all the other places I tried are so expensive and are charging £400


its a school. You should try and contact them, they're a lot cheaper. The one I'm doing my exams with are in Surrey, by weybridge
My sixth form don't even charge anything for resits. I think that's probably because it is an inner city school so kind of lucky
Does anyone know of any easy going jobs I could apply for while still revising hard for my exams? I need to earn some cash on the side but something not too heavy or long hours

I'm actually looking to do the opposite an quit my job I have atm have made me do very long hours even though I'm a college student.
Yeah I would advise quitting your jobs now Tbh, you don't want to miss out on the grades again for the sake of a few hundred pounds and last year I quit in April which I realise was now a bit too late

My old sixth form only charges £15 per exam. They even entered me for an exam that they don't even do anymore, for £5 extra.
£25 an exam, they must make a killing of us fools who think it is necessary to sit exams!
