GCSE results day this year has left some learners looking towards GCSE resits in maths and English due to disappointing results. Any student who has not obtained a level 4 in either of these subjects are advised to take a resit or consider another option like a functional skills level 2 exam.
Here at Birminghamtutorcompany, we have an impressive pass rate so we do not often have our learners come back to us regarding a resit but we do have new learners that get in touch asking for a resit or a functional skills exam. Employers, apprenticeships and universities all accept functional skills making it the perfect alternative. Some courses however demand a grade higher than 4 to get onto the course, if this is the case then a GCSE retake is the only option. We support all of our students in many ways including tuition and offering the best materials.You are able to book your exams using the following links.
If you only require a level 4 then we strongly recommend functional skills as there are many advantages to it compared to the GCSE’s which are listed below.
-You can sit them all year round.
-Results take 2 weeks rather than 2 months.
-You can take the exams from home.
-There is much less content in the level 2 qualifications.
Whether a GCSE resit is right for you or whether you should be considering the GCSE equivalent qualifications, is dependent on your personal circumstances.
