October/November 2026 series
Retaking in October/November 2026?
Start now, not in September. Three months is enough time to change a grade — six weeks usually is not.
Results day rarely ends the story. Every year a large share of Pakistani students sit the October/November series to lift a grade for university applications, to move from AS into A2 on firmer ground, or simply to correct a paper that went wrong on the day. Our retake classes are built around that specific job: read the paper that produced the grade, isolate the component that cost the marks, and drill it under timed conditions with a teacher who knows the mark scheme. Cambridge entries for the Oct/Nov 2026 series close on 13 November 2026, and the British Council late-entry deadline in Pakistan falls on 3 September — so the planning window is now.
How our retake classes work
Start now, not in September
The Oct/Nov series sits in roughly three months. Students who begin in August cover the syllabus twice; those who start after the entry deadline are revising against the clock.
Diagnose before you re-teach
We start by reading your actual paper, component by component, to find where the marks went. Retaking without knowing which paper failed you is how students repeat a grade.
One subject or several
Most retake students take one or two subjects. There is no requirement to re-sit a full set, and fees are charged per subject.
Exam technique, not just content
Most retake marks are lost to command words, timing and working-out, not to gaps in knowledge. Timed past-paper practice with detailed marking is the core of every retake course.
Frequently asked questions
Can I retake just one subject?
Yes. Most of our retake students take one or two subjects. There is no requirement to re-sit a full set.
Does a retake grade replace my old one?
Universities generally see both sittings. Most Pakistani and UK institutions accept your best grade, but policies vary — check with each university directly before you decide.
How do I register as a private candidate in Pakistan?
Through the British Council Pakistan School Registration System. You must register and pay before the published deadline — an unpaid entry is not submitted to the board.
When does the October/November 2026 series run?
The Cambridge October/November 2026 series opens on 28 September 2026 and closes on 13 November 2026.
How much does retake tuition cost?
The same as our standard rates: PKR 19,000 per month per subject at IGCSE and O Level, and PKR 24,000 per month per subject at A Level. There is 20% off for three or more subjects.
Is there really a free first class?
Yes — one full demo class with the actual teacher who would take you. No card details, no commitment.
