GCSE results?

Hi!
I’m going to sit 9 GCSEs at school and then 2 GCSEs as an external candidate.

On GCSE results day, how will I know the grades which I’ve received as an external candidate?
Also, when I share my grades with the sixth form which I want to be enrolled into how do I share the grades which I’ve received for my other 2 GCSEs as my GCSE’s will be on one sheet of paper in school?

apologies for how dumb I may seem here lol, I just really want to clarify some things up! Thank you in advance :smile:

Excellent, but why? What are the 2 extra subjects?

You go by subject. You shouldn't be able to sit the same subject with the same exam board as a school student and an external candidate at the same time. You also shouldn't be able to sit the same subject across 2 different exam boards at the same time.

Depends on the individual college's policy, but generally you present the certificate/transcript to them. If it's your 2 extra GCSEs, you are not likely going to need to give them to the college since your GCSEs via your school should cover all the mandatory subjects. The only occasion that I could think of where the 2 extra GCSEs would be important is if you don't high enough grades in your school's GCSEs and the 2 extra subjects are of higher grades that you can switch/add to your existing list of grades.

Hi
It depends on the centre your sitting the 2 GCSEs at. Usually, they would send you your results by email and post. And once enrolling yourself for sixth form...just tell your high school that you have sat 2 exams and they will probably add it on the sheet for you. :smile:

Hope this helps! good luck
