GCSE English Literature ❗️❗️

hi,
my school makes u do eng lit gcse in y10. I got a 5 and literally didn't revise properly at all and didn't try in the exam because I felt so burnt out and I was shocked to see this. no matter what grade I got I decided I was going go resit as I know I can do much better. my school however does not let you resit them in y11. i have a few questions:

is it possible to resit this gcse as its not like the main ones like lang is?

could I perhaps resit this in y11 as a private candidate somewhere else without school being involved in the process rather than doing it when I begin college (I'm not sure if college would let me take it their?).

how much around would it cost to resit this type of gcse I can't seem to see prices anywhere on Internet?

thank you x 🎀

Hi so you can resit any gcse however you will need to resit it privately and sit it in November I’m also re sitting 3 GCSEs ( I have passed them) however they were not good grades. How ever my parents won’t let me know the price of the re sits so when I find out I’ll let you know
