A Level Resits
How do I take an A Level Resit?
1. Make an A Level Exam Booking
Our team at Pass A Level offers A level resits for maths, physics, biology and chemistry. If you book as an A level private candidate for physics, chemistry or biology you need to take the practical assessment as well as the exam. You can book this through them if you would like, you can also arrange this privately. The next available exams for all of the A levels offered are in Summer 2026.
2. Study for your A Level Resit Exam
After making your A Level exam booking (and practical assessments for the science courses) you will have to study to prepare for it. Whilst we do not currently offer any online A Level courses we can point you to some free revision resources available on MME Revise. You can also go to our Pass A Level courses page and register your interest. If you are sitting one of the science exams then you will have to sit your practical assessments at some point before taking the exam. If you have booked these through Pass A Level, they will handle the arrangements for you, otherwise you will have to organise these yourself.
3. Sit your Exam
When the day of your exam comes you will sit the exam as an A Level private candidate, your exam will be held at a local exam centre, likely to be a nearby school or college. There is no option to take your exam online at this time. Our team at Pass A Level will be in touch well in advance of the exam to confirm the time, date, and location with you, allowing you to focus solely on your preparation. If you do not pass your resit the first time around you can book one for the following year if you so desire.
