Resources for SN HE - exams.

Here's a list of the info on exams for HE kids with special needs I've collected to date. M is a few years off needing this yet, but it might be helpful for others.

Where do I start?


 It's full of information and a good place to start finding out taking exams...

Fiona Nichloson's website has an exam page (she also has a lot of knowlege on college for 14-16 yr olds).

This is the email list for people doing exams...

Special Access Arrangements


Details on how to arrange special access can be found here....

Alternative Qualification route to Uni?


US High School Diploma + SAT test.  This curriculum is aimed at 14-18 year olds.
An alternative qualification route to Uni for those that feel GCSE's/A Levels aren't right for their child is the US High School Diploma + SATS. Here's one accredited homeschool provider for SN kidshttp://www.setonhome.org/special-services/ . This one is Catholic, but should give you an idea of how the US system works as a starter for 10. This provider also has a dedicated SN department.
