Questions and answers
Where are the exams centres located in South West Wales?
Answer:Hi, Yes there are exam centres available in Wales.
This was helpful.What about practicals
Answer:You can do the new science A-levels without doing practical work, but this means your certificate won't have the "practical endorsement" on it. However, most universities will still require this endorsement if you wish to study a science subject at university. If you do wish to have the practical endorsement, there are routes, but they may be expensive.
This was helpful.How much is the exam and is their a place in Cambridge where I can take the exam?
Answer:Exam fees vary from center to center but I would say £80 and upwards per exam. I would advise you to call a few centers in your area to find the best price, there is thousands of centers in the UK.
