Resitting GCSE exams

What should I do if I don't get the GCSE grades I need?

Speak to your sixth form or college – they might be flexible about their entry requirements, especially if you only just missed your grades. 

How soon can I resit my GCSE exams? 

Even if you don’t get the grades you need, your college might let you retake a GCSE while you study for your A or T levels. If you’re unhappy with your results you can enter for all GCSE subjects the following summer.

You can also take autumn exams in GCSE English Language and Maths. Talk to your sixth form or college to decide when it’s the best time to resit your GCSE exam.

Remember

You'll need to keep studying English and maths if you're under 18 and did not get at least a grade 4.
