Due to some results from this year’s GCSE’s, some students are considering maths and English GCSE resits. Students who have not obtained a level 4 in maths and English are recommended to take a resit or potentially consider a functional skills level 2 qualification.
Here at Newcastletutorcompany, our pass rates are very high so we usually don’t have GCSE resits with our existing learners but we are often contacted by new students who unfortunately do need to take a resit or an alternative. In this situation, we always make sure we offer the best solution to the student. Due to the fact that Universities,employers and apprenticeships accept functional skills they are the perfect replacement. Despite this, some of these courses do require a grade higher than a level 4 and if this is the case we recommend the GCSE resit. We support all of our students in many ways ranging from tuition to quality resources. The following links allow you to book your GSCE exam resits.
If you only need a level 4 then the functional skills level 2 exams are often the best option. There are many advantages of these exams like:
1.You can sit them all year round
2.Results take 2 weeks rather than 2 months
3.You can take the exams from home
4.There is much less content in the level 2 qualifications
If you feel that a GCSE resit is right for you then Newcastletutorcompany are here to help and are still here for you if you need to take an equivalent. Please contact us today if you need any help or support with your maths and English needs.
