Can you sit a different tier-ed exam?

Like, say you could only do foundation GCSE Maths and you get a C in it on results day, would you be able to sit the exam again with a higher tier, to get a higher grade?

Technically, that isn't resitting right? How does it all work?

It would be re-sitting. but yes you can do it. You just enter to take the exams at Higher tier the following November or Summer.

Thanks! I hope resists aren't too expensive. Is there any draw-backs from resists? What happens to your old grade? Apparently, it only matters when you go to university as they check these stuff. But obviously, I just want to know as I don't want to resist a subject I got a C in to get a higher grade, only to find lots of drawbacks ^^
