April 21st was the cut off for Schools getting the fees back for withdrawals. You might still be able to check with the exams dept at school/college but the exam boards will charge/ keep the exam fees therefore most schools will let it ride. If you do not sit an exam it would show as did not sit and will stay on your profile now.

Hi @zupermanzzz,

Thank you for your message 😊.

We are sorry to hear that your exams so far haven't gone to plan.

While it's completely understandable to feel uncertain after exams, we would encourage you to complete your A-Levels if at all possible. Even if you feel they haven’t gone as well as you'd hoped, completing the qualifications keeps more options open for you. There’s always the opportunity to apply through Clearing if things don’t go to plan.

In terms of withdrawing, we would recommend speaking with your school or exams officer directly, as they’ll be able to advise on the technical process and implications in your specific case.

Wishing you all the very best. Whatever happens, there are still lots of routes into university, and we are always happy to answer any questions you may have.

Best wishes,

Clare
