CloudLearn GCSEs and A-Levels are structured around formative assessments allowing you to test your knowledge as you work towards qualification. Before taking your exam you will submit a mock exam to give you the practise you need before the big day.

When ready we arrange your exam. We have agreements with exam centres all over the UK. Our students also take advantage of preferential pricing due to the volume of students we channel to exam centres.

As part of your enrolment service package we will make all the arrangements for your final exam. This includes locating a centre and booking the relevant exam/s. Exam fees are additional.

Exam fees can be bundled using the Exam Bundles drop down when adding to basket. Have a look on our Exams Page for a detailed explanation of this service.

The CIE IGCSE Sociology exam is available in May/June and November each year. It is assessed over 2 exam papers:

We generally ask that you book written exams at least 6 months in advance.

Booking your exam after the booking deadline will incur late fees (available for one month after deadline) and high late fees (available up until exam entry closure).

Some students will study for the exam over a period of months or years, as they dictate their own study schedule. We do however have students who will study intensively and prepare in a matter of weeks. You are only constrained by the exam diet. GCSE exams are available in May/June of each year, with core subjects also assessed in January.
We are so confident in the CloudLearn model of study that we guarantee you will pass your exam. As long as you do what we recommend, we offer a full money-back guarantee.

We offer longer payment plans of 12, 24, 36 or 48 months. These extended plans are subject to interest. For more details contact our student advisors on 0330 111 4006 or visit our payment plan page.
