Oh well, all over with now :D :DQuote:

With regards to resitting GCSEs: my 6th form allow us to retake english and/or maths only. It takes up one period a week and you can take four AS or 3 A levels beside it. The teachers go through the areas that people didn't do well on and concentrate on getting those right instead of teaching the whole course in a year. I think only intermediate level is taught (pretty much everyone who does higher pass anyway) as C is the minimum required for universities/employers.
Intermediate has been scrapped. Last year was the last year that could do that, as you can now get a C on Foundation.
