A level private candidate

Hi, I’m thinking about giving my a levels as a private candidate next year as I moved from a different country to the UK, so is it possible to take 3 a levels and do it in a year? Subjects being psychology, sociology and English language or is it non-doable in terms of difficulty?
Would really appreciate if someone cares to acknowledge my question. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not sure if you can do them in a year, but it is possible to do so privately. You'd have to contact the exam boards you wish to do and get it arranged through them. It's quite costly, I believe around £100 per exam paper.
In terms of if you SHOULD do them in a year, I'd always advise giving yourself the most amount of time to do them. From the subjects you wish to do, I did psychology (AQA) and there was so much content, it wasn't difficult to understand, it's just that the quantity was a lot and often you just need that little bit more time to let it marinate in your head so you can remember it better.

If you have any more questions, please let me know! :smile:
