Retaking A-levels

Hi, I completed my Biology, Chemistry and Maths A-levels this year with BBB. I was expecting to do better than this and I was really dissapointed. I want to retake my A-levels this year but i’m really struggling to find a place to take the exams. The sixth from I studied at has closed down and is no longer an option. I have rung local sixth from colleges and they’ve said they do now accept external candidates. Can anyone give me any advice or suggest any exam centres located near Kidderminster, even in Birmingham?

Hey, hey. I'm in London so might not help that much but maybe try tuition centres? Some have to be exam centres too. This situation sucks, but you're not alone. I'm also retaking a levels. It'll be okay. Wishing you the best.
