How Do A-Level Resits Work Online?

SHARE THIS PAGE
5th June 25

If you don't get the grade you need in your A-Levels or iA-Levels online with us, you can always retake the exam.

To do this, simply inform your tutor and complete the resit form that will be sent to you via Atom. You will need to provide your identification and a recent photograph.

The resit comes at an additional cost, and you must purchase and register for it before the cut-off date.

The cut-off dates for A-Level and iA-Level exam applications are:

  • July 31st for Autumn exams (not all subjects are available in Autumn)
  • December 31st for Summer exams

Please note, the resit process is the same as the process for booking your original exam, so it should be straightforward. If you need any assistance, you can contact your tutor via your online learner portal.

We wish you the best of luck with your resit! Remember, 90% of A-Level grades improve when people resit them, so you have a good chance of doing much better the second time around.

Feel free to contact our team online below if you have any more questions, or call them on 01202 006 464.

Enrollment ease

I was not sure on where to begin and how much I will need to pay and I had so many questions swirling in my head before enrolling but I found the live chat and was able to speak to an advisor called Ben and he was able to help answer all the Questions that I had as-well as enrolling me onto my access course with a price that was ideal for me and would highly recommend for someone who wants to access a course but is unsure and worried they make it seem easy and efficient.
