    Nope, GCSE exams have specific dates from when you can take them. The earliest would be this November

    You could study for it over summer but would have to do the exam when you get back to school. I think you could do it in November but it depends on the subject and exam board.

    Would it be certified in 2011 or 2012?

    It depends if you can find an exam centre - most schools won't hold exams in November. You'll also struggle to get coursework marked, or will have to choose a subject with no coursework.
