I really want to do an A Level, or equivalent (don't know what that would be in the US, but it's basically what gets you into university in the UK) in Physics or Biology.

I'm looking at Home Study but you must sit exams somewhere so it's impossible for me to do it with a UK company. Anyone have any idea how I could do this in Korea?

Checked with the embassy or the British Council to see whether you could sit the exams there?

Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure on all fronts. I'm not looking to get into University again or do another degree, I'm just looking to study to a high standard for fun and to add it to my CV.

Think I'm going to email some distance learning companies and see what they say. If any of you guys have experience with this it would be much appreciated
