A-level retake courses at CIFE colleges

Retaking A levels is probably the last thing you wanted to do. However, not only will better results get you into a better course, but the experience of retaking will probably make you a much better university student too.

An effective approach to A-level retakes

CIFE colleges know A-level retakes inside out and their expertise isn't just about exam-aware teaching, it is also about helping you sort out where you went wrong last time and supporting you to make sure you don't go wrong this time.

Most people are pretty gloomy at the start of a resit course, and helping you feel positive about your prospects is one of the features of effective teaching You should quickly find that you are moving forward rather than simply repeating last year's learning.

A-level retake options

In helping sort out the best approach to resits, each student's case poses different questions: "what  do I need to do to improve?"; "what can I hope for?"; "what is the best pattern of courses and unit exams to achieve my goal?" etc.

Balancing the number of units to resit against work-loads, extra UMS points etc needs thought and expert advice. You will need to talk to your old teachers to find out what they think you need to do in order to improve, and you will certainly need our advice on what is possible.
