Students unhappy with their A-level results may be able to retake exams through a school, college, sixth form, online provider or specialist independent college. Resits generally involve course and exam fees, can usually be attempted multiple times subject to limits, and under the linear exam system normally require waiting until the following May or June, with no January resit period. Students should check whether their subjects remain available and whether coursework marks can be carried forward. Those who believe their results were incorrectly marked can ask their school or college to request a review, although fees may apply and grades can potentially be lowered.
