Depends what sort of subjects you want really..maths?
I know specifically here our local college has a lot of good distance learning provisions..they'll do workshops where you can go in if you need to (evenings, til 9pm ish) or you can just study at home and go in for the exams etc if you can handle the load independantly

Hope this helps!

They usually do what's called ''fast track'' which is one year (start sept to take the exams in june) instead of the 2 years which it would be done in school.

Surely you know whether or not you got a maths gcse?.did you not keep the certificates lol?

You'd probably want a science, english (language I'd pick over literature..less reading, more written work of your own)..and maths? then something else to fill in the gaps..like geography and history if you want 5? or IT if you are any good with pc's..?

your better off going to a class...

face to face learning is SO much more sucessful for the learner.

Distance Learning is only really good for when you can't there, not when you don't want to go or its easier not to.

http://www.icslearn.co.uk/gcse-A-lev...sh/gcse-maths/

That's the cheapest online one I can find for them, most are Ł300 a subject ish ..as Blah says, ICS. That's the maths page specifically, but you can navigate to the other subjects quite easily.

No chance of that due to work.

No katie, I dont know whether I got a C in maths, and no I didnt keep the results slip I'm sure it was maths that I got a C in though

Wasnt really intrested at the time, and I'd say for the last 18 months of school I never even took any text books, just did the work on paper during lesson then binned it on the way out
Lol, have a look at that link above..its got details on each course anyway whether or not you choose to do it with them. You may be able to get it cheaper with a college local to you but you'd have to look into that with them
