Access course and Advanced Learner Loan- dropping out

Ok, so because my quals are old (graduated in 2004), I decided last year at 38 to start an Access course. I work and have 3 children as a single parent and didn't realise how quickly the assignments needed doing.
I was doing well up until unit 8 when the assessor basically ripped apart an assignment I'd spend ages on and had to resubmit only to be told it was still not good enough. (I had distinctions and merits before).
It threw me and going through a divorce and now a move has been really difficult.
I applied for a break in my studies but I've lost my motivation.

I took out an Advanced Learner Loan and now I'm worried if I drop out now I'll have to pay it all back straightaway.
I'm on a pretty crappy income and get working tax credits at the moment so it's going to be a huge blow to finances if I do.

Can anyone tell me if this is what happens or if they'd allow me to pay it back over a period of time?
