Hmmmm, that's interesting. I have an email from the GCSE Maths dept at Edexcel dated 25/10/2013 that states the following:-
"Many thanks for your email. Students can resit their GCSE Maths exams with different awarding bodies to the ones they first sat the exams with.
Hope that helps, but please don't hesitate if you have any further queries.
Best wishes,
Mark Anstee
Edexcel Mathematics"

Hi All
According to a leaflet about GCSE examination changes from AQA I have kept (do not know when it came out), ' From 2014, the November series will be restricted to students wishing to re-take a subject where a results has already been awarded in a previous series. The subject award entry must be identical to that awarded previously.' So I am afraid you have to enter them for the correct cash-in with different boards. We always used to this but the last couple of years for Maths we just gave them linear AQA. No more I am afraid.
Kind regards
Marjanne

Hi Dawn,
Whilst we do not offer Edexcel Maths and English, we do have similar instances where students with us who want to re-sit will do so with the original AB they sat at school, even if it differs from that which we offer (AQA Maths and WJEC English). A little bit of juggling with different papers (and sometimes length of exam) on exam day, but it all goes ok.

We are thinking of offering a resit in GCSE English and Maths with Edexcel for 16-18 students coming to us from schools where they could have studied with a variety of awarding bodies and would like to know what other colleges do in this case. Do your colleges think the specs are very much the same and still offer it even though they haven't studied the spec you deliver.
Many thanks
Dawn
