Methodology & sources
Prices are only useful when the comparison is honest.
ExamCompare distinguishes between whole-subject fees, per-paper fees and listings where a centre publishes availability but not a usable price. Those figures are not treated as equivalent.
For A-level resits, the first release focuses on Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Psychology, Economics, Business and Sociology. Subjects involving practical endorsements, speaking tests or NEA need extra logic before they can be compared safely.
Sources were checked on 2 September 2026. JCQ says its directory is updated annually and warns that listed centres may no longer accept candidates. Centre fees can change and seats can disappear before a published deadline.
