Exam arrangements such as extra time as a private candidate

username6209935

I have decided to resit some A-levels as a private candidate and I am unsure how to get my 50% extra time back as a private candidate as it expires in February. I haven’t got any official mental health diagnosis but I got tested by a child physiotherapist last year in school

I think you either have to be retested or get a doctors note to send to Ofqual or the exam boards for your chosen subjects as proof you'd need the extra time, not 100% sure but I assume its similar protocols as if you weren't sitting privately. It would probably be best to enquire about this to ofqual themselves through here, https://contact.ofqual.gov.uk/contact-ofqual/start

Ofqual is England specific, you could always contact both

Checked google and found answers saying JCQ and Ofqual, but it looks like you'll have to be retested and send off the results to JCQ to see if you qualify.
