If you get below a grade 4 in Maths or English, then you will automatically be required to continue studying those subjects until you are 18, to try to ensure you get a sufficient level of qualification in them. If you decide that you want to resit a certain subject, then you can decide whether you want to resit them at a school, college, online course or at evening classes.
It is worth speaking to your school to get guidance on the best way to approach retaking your GCSEs, and they can often give you guidance on what they think might be the best option. In most cases you can do GCSE retakes alongside studying your a-levels, and you can do them while work with an apprenticeship as well. Resits for English and Maths usually take place in November, but timings can vary for other subjects.
Some schools will cover the costs of exam retakes, but others will require you to pay, so it is worth speaking to your school to find out. To get a remark you would have to go through the school or college where you sat the exams, and then they will speak with the exam board. Each one has its own set of procedures, but they all offer the potential for two types of remarks — a clerical check and a review of the marking.

A priority review is a quicker service for students whose place at a university or other higher education institution depends on the outcome.
If the overall subject grade changes, we don't charge for it — or any of the units, if it's modular. If the overall subject award grade stays the same — or the student doesn't aggregate process of combining the marks or other units of credit awarded through an assessment scheme — and the qualification is modular:.
Well, neither: many remark requests are from students who have good reason to suspect errors, while nationally, many who might benefit from getting a remark don't ask for one. Whether getting a remark is worthwhile depends entirely on individual circumstances! You need to talk to your teachers to assess what your chances are.
Your teachers can help you decide on getting a remark They know your work, they know what the exam was like and they know the results of your class-mates. All that gives them a perspective on whether something has gone wrong. They also had to give the exam board a grade prediction for you earlier in the summer. They can check the number of marks you got for the exam and tell you how close it was to the grade boundary mark.
If you were very close, getting a remark might nudge you up a grade. If you were close to the bottom for the grade the risk of a remark pushing you down is greater. They can help you look over a copy of your marked script see later to see whether the mark scheme might contain more marks for you.
Grade boundary marks differ a bit from subject to subject and from year to year, and each exam board publishes grade boundary marks online on results day. If you need to get an A-level paper remarked for a university place, you can ask for a priority review of marking called Priority Service 2. The check can take up to 15 calendar days from the date the request was submitted to the exam board. Check what UCAS say about exam reviews and appeals.
You'll see they emphasise the need to act quickly and to keep your chosen university informed. We would add that you also need to keep in close touch with your school to talk through whether to start clearing, how best to keep universities on your side.
A supportive letter from your tutor to your university could make a real difference here. If you're not asking for a priority review or not able to ask for one - see individual exam board rules the exam board can take three weeks to tell you the outcome. Your exam centre can ask for your exam script with the examiner's marks on it.
This might come in the form of an online scan, or a photocopy, or even the actual script. It depends on the exam paper concerned, the board and the type of remark request.
With the mark scheme for a paper, a teacher can give a very good idea of whether the marking of your script has been accurate. This not only helps you decide on getting a remark but can help if you're thinking of retaking the exam. But, unless the marked paper is quickly available online depends on the board and exam - ask your school , you will not be able to get them in time to ask for a priority review of marking.
It is possible to ask for teacher-marked or non-paper-based assessments eg orals to be reviewed. In the jargon this is known as a Service 3 review, and it takes 3 weeks or more. What's possible depends on the exam, who marked it and the extent of exam board 'moderation'. Get advice from your teachers about what is and is not possible. Exam board regulations require exam centres to have senior staff on hand after results day to help students with queries, so if there's no-body about, you're entitled to complain.
