[[File:Books.jpg|thumb|220x220px|link=https://he-exams.wikia.org/wiki/File:Books.jpg]]Some ordinary GCSEs are difficult for home ed students to access because they include "non-exam assessments", ie some form of practical or coursework.

'''''Academic subjects''''' affected by this include '''GCSE sciences, GCSE geography, and GCSE English Language''', because of their practical, fieldwork and speaking components. For these, most home educators opt for '''International GCSEs (IGCSEs)''' instead (See an [https://he-exams.wikia.com/wiki/IGCSEs explanation of IGCSEs] for background).
 
 
'''''Practical GCSE subjects''''', such as '''Physical Education, Dance,''' '''Drama, DT, Film Studies, Food Tech, Art''' and '''Music''' are also difficult for home ed students to arrange, because they have a controlled assessment/practical/coursework component and there is no IGCSE alternative without similar issues. Some of these have been or are being attempted by groups of home educators, but they are much more complicated to arrange than exam-only subjects. Home ed students often find alternative ways of studying and gaining qualifications in these subjects. See the subject pages (linked below) for more information, and the [[Alternative Qualifications]] page for non-GCSE options.
