Hi everyone,
I had a question regarding Cambridge A Level exams.
Is it possible to appear for A Levels without being enrolled in a regular school? I’m based in Mumbai and looking for a flexible option because I either missed my exams or want to improve my results.
From what I’ve understood, there’s something called a “private candidate” option where students can register independently and give exams through an authorized centre.
Has anyone here tried this route? How does the process work in Mumbai, and is it reliable?
I also came across a page that explains the process of registering as a private candidate in Mumbai — it seems helpful for understanding the steps:

Would love to hear your experiences or suggestions!
