A Level Biology (AQA) Private Candidates

I'm studying A Level Biology, AQA syllabus hoping to sit exams next june, i need to find an exam center to let me do the exam and practical work with them, but i can't find ANYWHERE that will let me do it.

If you studied this syllabus, please let me know where you did it, so i can drop them an email. Doesn't matter about location, I'm willing to travel.

I emailed the AQA online and they emailed me back with loads of info which has been so helpful and even a link to find schools/college/test centres that will let private candidates do the exam although you have to contact them for the practical part might be worth emailing them as you have to register as a private candidate to, they also give you the fee prices and dates that you have to apply etc.

Hiya

I'm not sure how close it is to you but there's quite a few colleges/schools in Yorkshire that offer private candidate entry, I'm not sure about the practical aspect though. You could try Bradford Grammar school, I know for a fact that they allow private candidate entry.

Let me know how you get on!
