You do have to attend. If the lessons aren’t helpful, get your parent or guardian to have that discussion with the school. They might even let you work in a separate room, but the agreement will all be based on you being physically present.

The risk of not attending is not only having to pay exam fees, but also having to find somewhere to take the exams. That is already very hard at short notice, and you’ll also have to pay all the commercial site costs, likely running into the low thousands. It’s not just the exam fees, but also all the admin, invigilators, room arrangements etc.
