In England/Scotland for GCSE Math do you sit an M3 and then in June sit a Completion paper/M3/M4 again?
Just wondering because my teacher was doing it today and I didnt understand.

Math rather than maths.
And my teacher didn't explain any of that, I just remember him saying we have an exam in March :s

M1 - year ten [exam - January?]
M2 - year ten [exam - June]
M3 - year ten [coursework - you'll do this sometime inbetween]
M4 - year eleven [coursework - you'll probably do some of M5 before this]
M5 - year eleven [exam - final exam worth half your final grade]
I think anyway.
