Can I go on holiday straight after my GCSE exams?

I am on holiday when i am supposed to take my GCSE exams can i take them on a different date?

  • Answer:

    No. Exam dates are never rearranged for anyone, even if you were to become critically ill overnight and were rushed to hospital, as it would allow you to find out what the questions were from other people, that's why the date and time is the same for everyone in the country. A girl I know had too many GCSE exams in one day (lots of clashes) and so she had to stay with a teacher overnight, and was not allowed her phone or internet in order to prevent cheating - that's how seriously they take this.

You can cancel the holiday. Exams dates only get re-arranged for those who are genuinely unable to get to the exam, not those off on a jolly holiday.

No - you could then pass on the questions to the rest of the class if you took them early, or get the questions from them if you took them later. That wouldn't be fair at all.

If you go on holiday and miss the GCSE exam, you will get a U in that subject/unit. People get something called 'exceptional circumstances' and get given a well calculated grade from past assessments etc IF they are missing the exam for a very good reason, eg. close family funeral, serious illness. Going on holiday won't get you exceptional circumstances so you'll just fail. They can't and won't reschedule any exams for certain individuals due to the possibility of cheating. I'd reconsider your holiday if I were you.
