Maths Resit 2016

I recieved a C in GCSE Maths and I am now doing my A-Levels but I have requested a re-take because I need a B to do my course at uni. However, I heard that the exam boards are making GCSE Maths harder this year and I don't know if that means learning new content. I've looked online and I can't find the specific types of questions that are going to come up in the exam (e.g Trigonometry). Could anyone tell me if there is any new content as I would like to start revising now. Thank you

I wish to re-take GCSE Maths too so is it true you won't have to learn the new one?

Yes. There are two more resit opportunities for the old spec; November this year and June next year. After that, it'll be the new spec only, iirc.

Would you be able to expand on this? I'm looking to resit GCSE Mathematics (with AQA if possible) to achieve a B grade, however I'm unsure as to when the final deadline is for the "legacy" exams. I've been searching around but the information seems to be quite conflicting. Thanks

Summer 2017 is the final opportunity for old spec (legacy) re-sits.

Is that across all exam boards?

Yes all examiners are setting the papers, though not all exam centres will choose to offer the old specification exams.

Are resits generally harder or easier than the original paper?
