Unknown at the moment until they publish the rules. Obviously without any additional assessment information it may be hard. If you are still at school and have been doing written work or a mock they might apply for a calculated grade. If you cant get a grade in july then resit in Sept/Nov.

Nope as they havent published the rules, but as retake candidates are often private and have left school, then they may struggle to get an independent assessment or to have marks like coursework or mocks to make a calculated grade from.

Then you will have to wait for the rules as to whether they allow you, but most likely you will sit the exam in the Autumn as you have no work to base a grade on or teacher to calculate it.

Ok go with that thread then. As I understood it the detailed rules have yet to be provided.
