Im currently on a gap year and working throughout the year ive finished 2 years at college and wanted to resit 2 modules i went to ask my college they said its SEVENTY FIVE POUNDS PER EXAM?! is this for real or are they pulling my leg? lol cheers

[-WhySoSerious?]

Jesus...it's like £13 each for ours...though I'm still in A levels.

Maybe it's because you're sitting as a private candidate now? Though I really can't see why its that much....

[Juggy123]

tell me about it, madness!! even private at some other colleges is 50 pounds and my own college is charging me 75 pounds

[steve2006]

look around all the schools and colleges in you area and ask. Be prepared to pay higher prices if you are taking less popular boards like OCR. One comprehensive i looked at last year charged about 25 quid a unit for Edexcel but 50 quid a unit for OCR.

I think it only doubles if you don't meet the resit-payment deadline. Ours is... tomorrow? I paid for a resit only last week and it cost me £15 (AQA).

[DisgruntledMoth]

Damn it. It costs £17.50 at my college.

Sorry I can't help you, but sheesh. Why is life always so ****.

some schools charge an "admin fee" for taking on candidates not enrolled at their school .This admin fee usually makes up the inflated price

[ducky123]

My college has a one off £50 fee to enter as an independant candidate and then its £20 for each retake. So thats £70 for one exam but its cheaper after that, still doesnt make it better.

They were £20 while I was in college. The £20 goes up to £30 or £40 if you miss a particular deadline too...

You should've signed back up to resit Yr.13 and then you wouldn't have to pay anything. You would still be classed as a student but you wouldn't have to go in.

[OnlyMe!]

Yeah, my college wanted £50 for each subject, on top of the £15 resit fee...

[Juggy123]

wow did you pay it?

[OnlyMe!]

Nah.

I've already got an offer from a decent university - although I am not entirely happy with it, hence why I wanted to resit and go through the UCAS process again. But now, I think I may just leave it

[Juggy123]

myt aswell resit and go for the best why take 2nd best when you can always achieve better

[OnlyMe!]

I guess, but I reckon many unis would be put off by resits (my teacher also said as much). Besides, the exams don't take place until June, leaving me in a bit of a limbo - I mean, I could end up much worse than the offer I have now...

[icapturethecastle]

i just paid £260 for 4 modules

ripped off big time but i needed it urgently

[jacy_babi]

Regarding UCAS applications, are your referee's putting your achieved grades on your reference. My referee is putting my grades on my reference and I'm not sure how I feel about this. Is it a good or a bad thing?

If you're resitting, your grades should be "pending"...

i paid £15 for each re-sit....
