Retakes in November!

Hi!

So, I would like to know what schools/countries do exams in November and what schools (preferably in or close to Sweden) allows their students to do retakes in November?! My school obviously doesn't and seeing as the Biology syllabus changes to next year, the November session would be better to do retakes in!

Please either reply here or PM me if you know any school in like Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, England or Scotland or wherever that allows retakes in November! Thank you sooo much!

a) of course I can't know for sure until 6th july, but I know I did not make myself justice, especially not for biology, and after 3 years' struggle, I want the grade I deserve =)

b) yeah well my school's boring so they won't let me, that's why I reach out here cuz I don't know how to find another school that offers it.

you could probably write to the IBO and organise it that way.

Here in Växjö they do allow for retakes in November, but I am unsure if they would invite students from other schools to retake the exams. Send me a PM if you want my IBC:s e-mail adress.

You'll easily find somewhere in UK if you want to. However, Sweden is trickier; I know my school only lets people do it if they have failed the diploma - hence me and some others who wanted to do it in November were not allowed. (I've just had retakes, got my diploma in May 07)

I guess you can just email every Swedish school (there isn't more than like 15-20) and ask; you can't get more than no!

I have a classmate (who is 1/2 Polish and speaks Polish) who went to Poland to do November retakes.

The figure £80 rings a bell, that is, per subject.

My school allows for November retakes in certain circumstances and you have to pay an extra fee above the regular retake fee.

Do they charge any additional fees? If they do, by how much?

I've contacted Åva gymnasium's IBC, he said they don't arrange any retakes in november, not even for an "extra fee".

I know, I wrote to him and he answered: "I don't know what you got that info from, but we don't offer retakes"

Retakes in November!
