Sorry I don't think it's no longer possible . This summer was the final time to sit the old spec biology exams. If you want to resit any biology exams you'll have to do the new spec meaning you'll have to do the whole a level again.

What can I do? Should I try other sixth forms? Will there be any sixth forms that will accept me?

Hi So I got a U at AS Biology but I know why I got that and know what I have to do to get a good grade at Biology. I am prepared to work hard. I therefore want to retake year 12 but sixth forms wont allow me to do so.

Hi , me and my friend are in the exam same boat as you i didnt get great this results day so decided i to resit. But no colleges will accept a student like me due to the changes in specification. They said that theonly thing we can do is sit the exams as an external student, so it looks like i will have to learn everything again at home by myself with out a teacher. dont know how I am going to cope tbh. Also you can resit AS exams so that calmed me down a lot.

Does that mean you have to pay for the exams your resitting?

Also the cost may be slightly more if the centre you are sitting the exams at charge an admin fee.

Yes we do have to pay, i calculated that my 6 exams comes to roughly £85, which was the cost of one a level anyway ( I am doing AQA in case you are wondering) I am glad though that i can resit AS again, because my sixth form teachers told me this wasn't allowed, since they thought no more AS papers were going to be produced. However the AQA exam timetable shows that this is not the case.

I think I may have to get a tutor to help with the synoptic essay, then revise as normal for everything else.

I have been going to lessons for the new spec exams as they are quite similar to help with revision and also been having a tutor to help out mainly with the synoptic essays. How are people finding the revision? and whats occurring basically haha

Hi there,
I retook BIOL4 and I am going to sit my BIOL5 paper on the 20th of June.
The BIOL4 had many repeated questions from past papers
My friend re-took BIOL2 and said the paper also was full of repeated past paper questions
I think the BIOL5 paper will have repeats but I don't think the synoptic essay will be from the pps.
I've only done the essays that have been predicted on TSR and my normal BIOL5 revision.
Do you think the essay will be repeated too?
