Some useful information about the GCSE and A Level entry procedure is provided below:

1.    Examination Timetable:   A downloadable timetables can be found on the AQA website.

2.    If you are taking English Language or a foreign language for which a Speaking and Listening  examination is required, you must find a Centre that will enter you for the oral examination – not many Centres do.

3.    AQA offer the English Language Speaking and Listening examination to private candidates. There are very strict rules relating to the date by which you must apply.  Contact AQA for further information

4.    You must contact a Centre to make your entry well in advance of the closing date. Closing dates for the various examination series are given below and rarely change from year to year.  Check on the awarding body website if you would like confirmation of these dates.  Some Centres set a final date by which they are prepared to accept entries from private candidates.

5.    You must attend in person to make your entry.  Centres will specify the identification documents you require.  In addition, the Centre will need your full name, entry code(s), proof of address, UCI and ULN where appropriate.

6.    If you are entering for A2 examinations or a combination of AS and A2 you must let the Centre know if you require aggregation/certification. It is important that this is done at the time of entry.  To apply after your entry has been made may incur additional costs.

7.    Entry code    It is entirely your responsibility to provide the Centre with the correct entry code for your examination entry.
