Retaking A-levels after years

Hi All,

I did my A-levels back in 2019, and was happy back then with the results, However, I'm seeing a lot of opportunities that I could go for if my results were slightly better. Would it be possible to retake my A-levels online? (Obviously studying online and retaking the exams in person).

I've had a look at some websites and https://cloudlearn.co.uk/ stands out to me. Just wondering if it's a viable route. Also, if I'm happy with one of my results, can I just retake 2 A-levels and use the previous one or do I need to retake all 3?

Any help is appreciated!

So, you could contact a local college and ask if you could sit them there. (money, ofc)
I mean, i guess you could do it online, as long as you know the content and learn it somehow, that you can sit it

Take two a-levels? go for it
(might have resources here)

There are specific Foundation style courses for older students at several Universities - examples:
Degrees with a foundation year | Education | The University of Sheffield
CertHE Foundation Years | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol
Mature Students : Study With Us , Aberystwyth University

Or look at doing a 1-year Access to HE at a local college :
Access to Higher Education
