This guide is for students taking any of these qualifications:
- GCSEs
- AS or A levels
- other general qualifications, including International Baccalaureate, core mathematics and Pre-U
- vocational and technical qualifications, including T Levels
- a combination of these qualifications
The information may also be useful for parents and carers as well.
