Our Exam Centre

Exams for Private/External Candidates

We can only provide Access Arrangements for Wessex Tutors tuition students.

A Level Science : private candidates can only sit RETAKES with the practical component marks carried forward. Only Wessex Tutors full-time students are able to take A Level Sciences for the first time with us.

A level Geography, History, Computer Science, English Literature and any other subjects with NEA components : private candidates can only sit RETAKES with the NEA component marks carried forward. Only Wessex Tutors full-time students are able to take these A Levels for the first time with us.

We only offer A level modern languages to private candidates who are sitting at least one other A level with us. We can only conduct language oral examinations for French, Spanish, Italian and Russian. You must also have 2 preparatory sessions with us for your oral.

GCSEs: we only offer exam places to candidates who can demonstrate to us that they are being prepared for their exams by someone with the relevant experience. You will need to put us in touch with this person before we offer an exam place. In our experience this ensures that the candidate can cope in an exam setting and that the exam can be run smoothly for all candidates 

GCSE Science, Geography and other subjects where coursework is assessed in the exams : candidates taking the exams for the first time can only take Pearson's I-GCSEs with us, as no practicals are involved.

GCSE English Language : candidates taking the exams for the first time can only take Pearson’s I-GCSE (code 4EA1 only) as there is no required spoken component, we are not able to offer the spoken components needed in other GCSEs.

You must be at least 15 years old at the time of your first exam.

"Through Wessex Tutors our son achieved 2 grade increases in each subject at A level coming out with an A* and 2 A's in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. He has said the tutors were very good and were very attentive in bringing out the best in him. Our view is that in addition to the academic work, they helped to rebuild his confidence enabling him to achieve his potential."

"Our daughter writes: I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help organising tutors and my exams for me for the year! I'm extremely happy with my results (and relieved) and will be starting Physiotherapy next month! Without your help and Wessex tutors, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to do Physio, so once again, thank you so much!"

- Paul Brook

"My son re-took his Physics A Level and had a weekly tutor session to explain the more complex concepts which he found really helpful and this was arranged in a location convenient for us. His tutor was very knowledgeable and good at explaining things. My son also re-took the exams at Wessex."
