Can you cancel a level exam after sitting one paper

Hi,
So I’ve alreadly checked with my uni offer and they definately confirmed I don’t need to resit my Edexcel a level economics to have my offer.

Last year I achieved 3A* (math,fm, chem) 1C econ. I reapplied this year cause I wanted a gap year and I got my offer and I really don’t want to sit the exam now for economics if I alreadly have an guaranteed offer but I have alreadly sat paper 1 economics and when I checked the cancellation policy it says 14 days before results issued which I don’t get. I’m resitting with tutors and exams If that helps. Can anyone give me advice cause I’ll be real I tanked paper 1 hard.

Hey
Unfortunately once you've sat any paper for edexcel, even one you can't really withdraw it as Edexcel consider the series started once you've sat even one, what you could do is maybe ask your tutors for advice if it's possible and if it isn't then you could wait for your results.
But good luck!!

Hi there,

I would suggest talking to your teachers or careers advisor about this!

Kind regards, Jenifer (Kingston rep)

Hi, I was suprisingly able to cancel it. I was sitting it with tutors and exams and they said it was fine pretty much, removed my entry and they’ll contact the same board to cancel it. I’m just hoping i don’t get a certificate saying X on unclassified on it. I think it might be for the best cause I didn’t think I was getting past an B this time
