"Exams for pupils across England will not go ahead as currently planned, Boris Johnson has confirmed.

Gavin Williamson is in talks with exam regulator Ofqual about how students taking GCSEs and A-levels will be assessed."

I took a gap year to improve a couple GCSEs for uni. I just hope something good can happen, my uni relies on the resits.

GCSE’s are cancelled but we have to wait for further guidance for private candidates. Last year they had exams for private candidates/resists who weren’t happy with their grade, so hopefully they have one this year 🤞🏽
