Booking A level exams privately.

Hi, so I'm deciding between 2 exam centres to do book A level maths privately. I can't decide between Jay em studios in chorley and exam and tuition centre in Bolton. Jay em studios is closer and cheaper, but I've noticed they have been making mistakes with my information E. G. My surname and the exam fee on the invoice. So I'm unsure if it's wise to choose them. I havnt filled in any forms for the exam centre in Bolton yet but I was just wondering if its normal for private exam centres to make mistakes like this and if its not a red flag? I'm unsure whether to pick Jayem studios in chorley or exam and tuition center in Bolton. Any advice will really help me as its Christmas holidays and deadlines are getting close. Thank you.

That is a big red flag! Think about it... if they screw up some of your info, it could get lost into the A-level marking ether and never return. Is that a chance you are willing to take?

I gave 2 GCSE Exams privately at Bolton (Tutors and Exams) and had a great experience overall. They didn't get any information wrong and I was told prior as to where and what centre I should go to. I would recommend them however I'm not sure how the prices are

Are they the nearest to you? Have you checked the JCQ list?
