No, what I mean is go to a private exam centre. Your school can’t stop you. You would have to learn chemistry at home though.

Then if you know what you want to do, what’s the point in asking the question?

Because I don't know if I should move or stay but if I stay I won't be able to do chemistry but if leave maybe I can do N5 chemistry

Hi! Do you specifically need to study chemistry? E.g. are you looking to study medicine or another course that requires chemistry at university? And if so is the school aware of this? If you don't specifically need chemistry, your simplest option would be to just take another subject.

Of course moving school, as you have mentioned, may be an option. There's also the option to study Nat 5 Chemistry as a night class at colleges. Courses are starting this week but some may still be accepting admissions.
