A Level Resits

Ok so I've gone to a few centers for private candidates and to be completely honest they seem like rip offs as they charge too too much and have bad reviews. My school and other schools around me are not happy to accept people to resit their A Levels. Can anyone please advise me on what I should do? I'm getting quite worried now

Have you searched on the exam board websites?

why should this person search on the exam board websites?

So they can find a centre that accepts private cadidates: https://www.ocr.org.uk/students/private-candidates/

Helloo I've checked out a few centres for private candidates and I've visited them too... they are too expensive and have horrific reviews, so I'm not in favour of that

Why won't your old school help you? They could ask you to pay for the exams plus admin fee

Its a grammar school so they are not obliged to help me apparently

I teach in a selective state school - we still take resit candidates - they don't go on the schools results. We don't teach them just give them a place to take the exam

I really don't know where to go to get predicted grades and also be able to sit exams... and since I really really want to give Imperial a shot next year I'm quite lost as first and foremost I definitely need an exam centre

Why won't your school give you predictions? Imperial? It's so toxic ,,, I really don't recommend going there.

Ah, so I've heard! But I still would like to give it a go nonetheless. As my school doesn't want to enroll me again they can't let me sit exams and get predicted grades

They do not need to enrol you - that would mean your results would go on their records. They just accept you as a private candidate - I think someone at school may not realise this! Your results will NOT go in their data and of course they can give predictions and write a UCAS reference without you being enrolled.
