Sitting an exam at home etc?

Question

Hello all, I had to drop out of school on account of a mental condition (severe sociophobia) and now I've hit 25 I really want to go back and resit my exams. I did badly because of the exam conditions being damaging to my condition, and so now I'm looking for a way to get qualified without having to attend a final exam at an examination centre. I realise this sounds stupid as the whole idea of sitting them in centres is to prevent cheating, so I'm not really expecting there to be an answer. But it's worth a try eh? Anyone know if there's a way to do my exams at home?

Answer 1

It is highly unlikely that you would get an invigilator to come to your home. It would also be very expensive.

You could however do a course work based qualification with no exams. Or you could attend an exam centre but do exams on your own with just an invigilator.  

Answer 2

Yer! Do as the 'WHOEVER HE\SHE IS' said!

Answer 3

Yes, the exam board will provide an invigilator to sit with you. Contact the exam board well in advance to make this arrangement.

Answer 4

It is possible the examination board will send an invigilator to your house, however it is highly unlikely.

I agree with the other user who said you can do "exams" that are all coursework based with no "real" examinations.

You can enroll at your local college and do a night-course, I did this after I failed my GCSE maths. There was only 10 people doing the course and the exam was held after 10 months doing the course.

Good luck with everything.
