If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

Who to contact when resitting A-levels?

Does anyone know who I need to email/talk to if I am going to resit my A-levels privately? Who will predict my A-levels; where will I sit the exams; how will I do my coursework etc?

These are all things you need to arrange.

You need to find someone able and willing to provide you with an academic reference for UCAS. Whoever that is will be asked to provide predicted grades. They can refuse or you can work with them to provide the evidence they need to be confident in predicting your grades.

As for the practicalities of where exams take place etc - you need to find an exam centre to take your exams with. They’ll then give you more information on how and where your work will be assessed

Talk to your school. Usually you can still use them as an exam centre for resits, even if you are not enrolled there. Most will still allow those on a gap-year / taking resist to still apply through their UCAS portal with their buzzword, and they will provide your reference and often new predicted grades. Talk to the Head of Sixth or similar as soon as you can.
