GCSE Equivalency Tests 2024

Introduction

GCSE equivalency tests follow the same UK curriculum as traditional GCSEs. Most employers and educators also accept them in the same way. However, equivalency tests can be taken all year round, while GCSE exams usually only run twice a year. GCSE equivalency tests are typically taken by anyone who requires a passing grade or above in their Maths, English, Science, or Biology GCSEs.

Taking equivalency tests are a great way to improve your qualifications and your future opportunities. Passing grades in subjects like Maths and English are often used as minimum entry requirements for education and employment. For example, most sixth-form colleges in the UK require that you have at least a grade 4 in Maths and English. Passing equivalency tests can be a great way to achieve this, especially as they run all year round.

This greater flexibility is particularity useful for learners who are managing other commitments, such as work or child care.

GCSE equivalency tests are entirely online. This means you can complete the exam from anywhere that suits you best. This includes the comfort of your own home. All online examinations are completed under supervision of a remote invigilator.

 

Nationally Recognised
