Hi! I´m not entirely sure but I´d recommend emailing some local colleges and asking them! Your exam board should have a list of colleges that accept private candidates!

Hi, I’m doing AQA Biology and physics. Do you guys know where I can book my exams? Btw I passed my practical endorsement when I first took my A levels 4 years ago so it’s only the exams that I want to retake for med school(outside the U.K.)

The software to make entries isn't issued to schools until mid November so I'd be surprised if any centres would take definite entries before then.

You can search here https://www.jcq.org.uk/private-candidates/ for centres that will probably take private candidates next Summer, but they're unlikely to accept them yet,

thank you so much!!! :smile:

I love business, and psychology is alright but I´d honestly rather watch paint dry than keep on studying law...

We just have to push on for a couple of months longer!!! :bawling:

I hope Biology gets a bit more tolerable for you!!!!
