This is what I found on the Edexcel website –
3. Important Information
• The November Series for GCSE Mathematics, GCSE English and GCSE English Language in
2015 and 2016 in England is intended for learners who have already taken and certificated
GCSEs in these subjects in previous series.
• Awarding Organisations are required to have evidence of the previous attempt before
accepting an entry, unless the learner is aged 16 years or older on August 31 in the year
that they wish to take an examination in November, in which case no evidence is required.
• Therefore, it is permissible for a learner who is 16 years or older on August 31 in the
year that they wish to take an examination in November to make a first attempt at GCSE
Mathematics, GCSE English and GCSE English language in the 2015 or 2016 November
series.

This rule doesn’t apply for over 16s. I believe any student over 16 can sit for the first time in the November session, or at least, that was
the case last year.

Subject: GCSE Maths - November 2015
Hello all
Am I correct in thinking that the November 2015 GCSE Maths session (all boards) is for resit students only - no exceptions.
Thanks for any responses.
Mark
