Access Course and A level self study

Hello,

I am about to start on an access course in september and at the same time I have been self studying for a maths A level at home for the last year, planning on taking the exams this academic year. I wanted the a level as it would make me more attractive to unis along with the access to science course.

Anyway, when I went for the interview at my college they said they wouldnt allow me to sit the a level exams in their college as a private student would. I have been thinking and, if there is a clash in exam times with my access course then I am pretty screwed and I am hesitant to pay for the exams at a private centre only to find out I will not be able to sit them.


Does anyone have any advice?
