Posting here because it came up on this thread that I started regarding dd's class being pushed towards taking maths early. As standard school already takes English & Welsh language GCSEs in yr 10, then lit in yr 11. So dd could realistically end up with 2 GCSEs taken in yr 10, 2 in November yr 11, then 6 or 7 at end yr 11.
I've looked around online to see what I can find, and basically the (in)famous Informed Choices booklet suggests this 'may' be an issue - elsewhere it doesn't seem to be regarded as a big deal. I'd be interested in any further info people on here have. Not that I imagine I've any much chance of changing things with the school, but, y'know, nice to be informed.
(FWIW DD likely to take maths/science A levels probably most likely leading to something maths-y / physics-y, though she is also interested in the life sciences.)

Any people who know about admissions - how problematic are GCSEs taken at different times?
