How much does it cost to withdraw from an exam?

So, I have the additional maths exam on the 18th, and to it bluntly, I really cannot be bothered sitting it. Because, a) there's literally close to no chance of me getting a pass in it, and b) it's a whole week after my second to last exam, so it means an extra week of not being 100% free from exam stress. So, does anyone know around how much is it to drop. Thanks.

You can expect to be asked to pay for the wasted exam entry. IF this is OCR's FSMQ then it's £36.50..

I was always expecting to have to pay, not expecting a get out of jail free card for this matter. But no, it's WJEC, but I assume it'll be somewhere near that amount, so thanks.

Damn this post is over 5 years old and I've just seen it on a whim of popping on here for the first time in a long time.

If you've already sorted this problem (either by sitting the exam or pulling out), cool, ignore this. But if you haven't, I'd say just stick with it. Fun story, I ended up passing this exam (marginally, but it all counts the same) while other people more "up there" at maths ended up failing. So just work at it, and you may just be surprised as I was 5 years ago.
