Common questions
What do GCSE grades 4 and 5 mean?
GCSEs are graded 9 to 1, with 9 the highest. A grade 4 is a 'standard pass' and a grade 5 a 'strong pass'. Sixth forms often ask for a grade 6 or above in the subjects a student wants to take at A-Level.
Can my child sit exams as a private candidate?
Yes. Students who aren't at school — or who want to resit — can enter as private candidates through an exam centre that accepts them. Science A-Levels need extra planning because of the practical endorsement.
When are GCSE and A-Level exams?
The main exam series runs from May to June, with A-Level results in mid-August and GCSE results about a week later. There is also a November resit series for GCSE English Language and Maths.
