How to get maths GCSE quickly

Here at Functional Skills Maths Level 2 we offer as much support as we possibly can for every learner that needs it. We get many different questions about different things but something we want to highlight today is how to get a maths GCSE quickly. One of the main reasons as to why people are looking for answers to this is because the standard GCSE exams have a limited number of exam periods and the results take a while too. Luckily, there are many alternatives that we think learners should be considering moving forward.

The dates that are usually set for the GCSE maths exams are May/June and November, with it being a paper-based exam. Everyone will need to complete 3 separate exam papers and will have to be in a registered exam centre. These will be scheduled at certain times on different dates. People ask how flexible the GCSE exams are and unfortunately they are not. This is because everyone in the country takes it at the same time which means no one can be taking it when they feel ready enough. This reason alone is why many people look for alternatives and the main one being functional skills maths level 2. With this option you can take it from the comfort of your own home, at a time you feel ready, all year round. This is an Ofqual regulated qualification so it will be recognised by most Universities and employers around the country as a GCSE grade C equivalent. Results are also much faster with it coming back in a matter of days while the standard GCSE results return in around 6 weeks which makes functional skills the fastest way to get GCSE maths. GCSE equivalency tests is another option for learners but isn’t as popular due to it being rather specific to teacher training and not as widely accepted.

Everyone has different circumstances and personal situations that can influence how fast qualifications are needed. It is important that this is considered before making a decision.
