Your in luck because my sister is home schooled so i know a bit about this.
Firstly coursework deadline have passed for this years courses, both GCSE and A-level, i think it was some time in February. This means no matter what you do your coursework will not count towards your grade if you take the exams this year.
Now my sister is doing gcse's and the coursework is worth quite alot so if your doing the same it won't really look good. Sorry. You could switch to IGCSE which is practically the same thing but 100% exam. Not sure if there is an a level equivalent though.
Also late exam entry deadlines are some time this month as well (might have already passed L) I think these are final so best to contact somewhere asap if you have not registered yet.
Now ordinarily for English coursework you have to have it authenticated by an AQA registered centre not just a tutor (edexcel don’t do English for private candidates), so I’m assuming your doing AQA . National extension college are really good. They do the whole thing for you by post, a bit pricey though; £300 per course. You can’t enter the 2009 course this late though. Best hope 2010.
Heres how they work;
1. You register for the course and they will authenticate cw and give you loads of revision material.
2. Once they mark your coursework they fill out the required form and send it to you.
3. You then take the form along with your marked coursework to the exam centre (place you will sit your exam) and they will send it off to the Exam board.
4. Then just take the exam and that’s it.
Worth checking out exam board website.
Hope this has helped. Good Luck. J
