Resitting GCSE's

I've just finished year 11. If I don't pass, can I resit English Language & Maths in November whilst doing my A Levels this year ? Would I have to go to a centre if my sixth form doesn't do resits ? I plan in taking bio,chem and history for A Level

Apart from the fact I really couldn't see a sixth form letting you do chemistry if you fail maths, or letting you do history if you fail English then yes you can resit them in November.
However, you only actually have to pass English Language or Literature to not have to retake English, so if you pass Literature then you would not have to retake language.
Yes, if your sixth form does not do resits then you would have to find an alternative centre, but if a sixth form is teaching the course then it is extremely unlikely they would not offer the exam at their centre rather than the hassle of having to ensure the students found a suitable centre when they are ready.
HTH

I was about to say, for Chemistry don't school/colleges require a minimum of grade 6 in maths?

Yes most do, although you will get the occasional school who is desperate for people who will waver this requirement if they got an ok grade in chemistry. Usually going to those schools is not good though.

Yeah lol, the school that I used to go to. It's more of a exception when it's their own students. When you've been there for years, then they may be lenient, but not for external students.

I do history and I'm pretty sure I'm getting an A or B in it so wouldn't they focus on that more rather than English language

Yes that's a good point. Also the uncertainty with the new maths GCSE this year may make things slightly more lenient than usual

Most sixth forms will want both. For example, my sixth form offers 2 history courses. The first requires a 6 in English Lang, a 4 in maths (I have no clue why lol), and if possible a B in history. The second requires a 5 in English Lang, a 4 in maths and if possible a B in history. Hence, they clearly feel English Language is quite important for A level history (and I would agree tbh having taken GCSE)

Thank you i think I need to go your school lol
