Exam apps
We are updating the exam apps and will publish them as soon as they are available.
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.
