Can you resit GCSEs at the College?

Yes you can resit GSCE exams. Naturally, you will improve second time around, but with tailored and targeted support, the grade enhancements can become life-changing.

Students who retake the GCSEs will have more options and feel confident when progressing to A Levels or a College course. Those just resitting exams without taking the GSCE course can do so as private candidates at our center.

Will resitting GCSEs put me at a disadvantage?

No. The new grades you receive will simply replace the ones you have if they are higher, and there is no stigma with resitting. In the UK, many students choose to take an additional year to ensure their success. It’s better to be happy with your GCSE results and feel motivated, and confident as you progress to the next stage of education, rather than rushing ahead with knowledge gaps or weaknesses.
