How does one repeat?

    Depending on the points rise in the course I want, I may not get in. If I have to repeat, how does it work? I've heard your own school can't take you back and you have to go elsewhere? Is there a source for information?

    No reason why your school couldn't take you back - that's their own policy. Some schools specialise in repeat classes, some have a repeat group running alongside their regular sixth year.
    You should apply to wherever you want shortly after the results come out.
    There is also the option of attending a grind business or studying yourself at home and registering with the SEC as an external candidate.
    Remember there will be changes in the syllabus for some subjects.
    Good luck.

    I never heard of someones own school not taking them back before?
    Loads of repeats in my year, about 11 I'd say.
    You can repeat as an external candidate too, I'm definatley gonna go that option if I have to repeat

    Thanks lads I'll look into it. I've never heard of people repeating in my school so it's likely just a policy I've never heard of (or looked into).
