Do you have a tutor? How long have you been home schooled? Do you have to finance your own A level exams or does the government sponsor you? Which exam boards are you using? If you're not using CIE, have you done the A level science practical endorsement? Sorry Im so curious :colondollar:.

Hey ahaha np!
Yup I have tutors:biggrin:, I have been homeschooled since year 9 (GCSE). I have decided to be home schooled as I moved into a new country and was having a slight problem fitting in and understanding the educational system (I used to live in Italy). I felt like if I had a tutor I could have extra attention which would help me. And I must admit it helped me hugely! (Plus I felt like at school I used to waste a lot of time:colondollar:).
I don't understand what u mean by if the Government sponsors me but I do pay for my exam:tongue:

I'm doing edexcel, well ummmm for practicals I watch YouTube videos because I have only written practicals:biggrin:

she means by government sponsers is that the government pays for your education, instead of you paying for it

Smart move to home school!

If you're taking your A levels in England then your A level sciences should have two grades the A level grade (A*, A, B, etc) and the practical endorsement grade (pass/ unclassified). The A level science practical endorsement is assessed using Common Practical Assessment Criteria (CPAC), you have to perform a minimum of 12 practicals using required apparatus and observed by staff at a registered assessment centre. Not completing the practical endorsement results in a 'not classified' unless exempt due to disability. Degrees like medicine state in their entry requirements that students should pass their practical endorsement.
