    Do you mean drop it and not do it or drop to Ordinary Level?

    No it's not, from the SEC's point of view. Your school or college may require you to attend classes still.

    However, if it is a subject with more than one component and you have already submitted that component, then you will get a low grade appearing on your statement of results.

    For example, say you were talking about Italian and you had already done your oral Italian, but decided then you didn't want to do the exam. The mark you got for your oral would appear on your results along with an asterisk* indicating you were missing for some part of the exam (the written).

    If you were talking about Italian and had not yet sat your oral and just didn't show up for either the oral or the written paper, then Italian will not be mentioned anywhere on your statement of results.

    I hope that's clear.

    Drop it and not do it, I've already dropped down to ordinary level and come to the conclusion that French just is not for me :p

    Hi there, how's it going? As long as you have the necessary number of subjects there is no need to sit any extra exam you may be registered for. For instance, when I was sitting my leaving, I had to sign up for an extra-curricular physics class in order to be allowed to sit L.C.V.P. I also had to register for the physics exam. I hate physics, but wanted the handy L.C.V.P. points, so I registered for physics, and never went to the exam. If its a situation like that, don't worry about it.

    OK, just don't go in for the oral or written, but be aware this decision may have a knock on in some college entry requirements.

    I don't know why you'd drop it now, you've covered the course so if you think there's any chance at all that you could pass it you might as well just do the exam.
