Question

Does anyone know where i can do gcse's online not too over priced?

Answer 1

You can't do GCSEs online. You've got to go to a class for it.

Answer 2

Yes, you can do GCSEs online. The briefest of searches found the following:

I also know there is at least one other UK based cyber-school but I can't remember the name right now! It's somewhere in my best answers if you want to 'go fishing'. I'm not from england (I'm from Australia) so I don't know as much as I might about your country, sorry.

Alternatively, you should be able to get copies of the relevant syllabii from the exam board, homeschool proper, then sit the exams as an independent candidate. That's what we (my siblings and I) do if we want to do any exams etc.

(That way it wouldn't really cost you/your parents much more than the exam fees, esp. if you can find suitable textbooks from libraries, op-shops, the web, other homeschoolers etc.)

Otherwise it might be best to ask around one of the uk based homeschooling groups for information.

Answer 4

you can learn over the internet and you won't get these for cheap. but you'd need to book yourself in at the nearest exam hall (it could be a school, a community centre or even a church, you'd need to find out) and you'd need to pay per exam. these can be anywhere between £30 - £150 depending on which subject it is in

Answer 5

I agree with Hannah M.  If you want to do GCSEs as cheaply as possible, you would be best to check the websites of the three main examining boards - AQA, OCR, and EdExcel (or WJEC if in Wales).  

I would try to avoid doing anything that involves coursework as you have to pay a private tutor or school to monitor it.  OCR tends to offer more coursework-free options than the others, as does EdExcel (the latter if you are prepared to go for IGCSEs).  The boards usually provide a list of set texts or recommended books, which you can go out and buy.

Check each syllabus carefully - there are some subjects that are not open to private candidates and some that may be difficult to do without the help of a tutor.  

Try Amazon for second-hand books, but for new ones I strongly recommend Brynteg Books

http://www.bryntegbooks.co.uk/

Every book has a least a minimum of 10% discount and postage is free.  They supply individuals as well as schools.

Also telephone your Local Education Authority to find out which schools and colleges accept private candidates and for which examination boards.

Best of luck!

Answer 6

I didn't think that you could do them online, what stops you from cheating, thats just stupid, it wouldn't be fair on those who had to sit in a silent room for hours. Im pretty sure they don't do that, and if they do i really do not agree with it.
