You can still enter if you pay late fees.

I'll ring up my local exam centre tomorrow and see how much the late fees are. Do you think it's possible to learn all of the specification by the end of may?

It is but you probably wouldn't want to rush yourself. I do not know how old you are but I assume you are in Year 12, so you would probably have other more important exams. If so, it would be advisable to take it in November, since you would have the entire Summer holidays to learn it and you would be a lot less pressured.

Depends entirely on how capable you are.

The normal fee is £27.30. With late fees this is doubled. If you enter after 22nd April it will be trebled. Your Centre may be closed tomorrow for Easter.

You make a fair point there, yh I'm in year 12. I want to study economics at uni and many unis require GCSE maths at grade A, I didn't work hard for my maths gcse last year(didn't think I'd need it), I was 2 marks off an A and I revised 3/4 days before the exam.
Many unis have told me that if I retake in November they will allow that, but it would be nice to get the retake out of the way asap

Well the BBC are a strange lot! That is why they are an unreliable source!!!

And you know that me and the OP both meant controlled assessments, but people sometimes refer to them as coursework (I and a lot of my classmates do). Stop being pedantic as you seem to have way too much time on your hands. :u:

You should probably stop posting now before you make yourself look any more stupid. There is no coursework or controlled assessment in GCSE mathematics.

My friends don't dream up controllled assessments like you dream up riddance of coursework. Maybe you should stop posting because I thought you were supposed to be an affluent Mathmo, but quite clearly you're not! :colone:
