Exam apps update

Our MyExams app has been updated with the latest timetable changes. If you are still seeing old exam dates, follow the steps below.

Important

  • MyStudyPlan users: If you imported exams before the update, remove the old ones in the Subjects window (tap the edit icon in the top right, then the red icon next to each exam). After that, re-import from MyExams to get the new dates.
  • Calendar users: If you exported exams to your calendar before the update, delete those entries and export again from the apps to ensure your dates are correct.

The previous timetable was compressed in response to partners feedback – allowing learners more time to prepare for their exams following the late Easter holidays. This led to a rise in coincident and consecutive exams. We have listened to and share the concerns raised by schools, colleges, learners and parents/carers about this. This new timetable will ease pressure for many learners, giving them a better chance to perform to the best of their abilities on the day of their exam.

If you have any queries about the exam timetable, please speak to your school, college or training provider in the first instance.
