Yes — you can resit A Level Further Maths, whether you originally sat it at school, college, or as a private candidate.

Many students retake to improve their grade, meet university entry requirements, or strengthen their maths foundation for degrees in subjects like Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, or Computer Science.

How do A Level Further Maths resits work?

Resits follow the same process as a first attempt: register with an exam centre, pay entry fees, and sit the standard papers in the summer exam window.

In England, A Levels are linear, so you retake all papers in the qualification during one exam series rather than individual modules.

When can I resit?

Exams run once a year in May/June. Plan your study timeline backwards from those dates. Some learners study across a full academic year; others choose a fast-track schedule.

Do I need to use the same exam board?

Not necessarily. Staying with your original board can make revision smoother because the style and topic emphasis will be familiar. If you switch (e.g., from Pearson Edexcel to AQA), ensure your course matches the correct specification and assessment structure.

Where can I book my resit?

• Your previous school or college (if they accept private candidates).
• Independent/private exam centres across the UK.
• A distance learning route with structured support — for example, Study from Home’s A Level Further Maths course prepares you for the exam and guides you through finding and booking a centre.

How much does it cost?

Fees vary by centre and board. Expect to pay exam entry/admin fees (often a few hundred pounds in total) plus any course or tutoring costs if you’re re-studying the subject. Always confirm prices directly with your chosen centre.

Tips for a successful resit

• Start early and map the whole specification (Core Pure + optional components).
• Use past papers and mark schemes from your board to master question style and pacing.
• Target weaker topics with focused practice and spaced repetition.
• Build an exam plan (paper order, time splits, calculator strategy) and rehearse it.
• Consider structured support (tutor or an online course with tutor help and progress checks).

Final thought

Resitting Further Maths can unlock offers and opportunities. With a clear plan, the right resources, and steady practice, improving your grade is absolutely achievable.
