The key dates and deadlines for our qualifications are given in the following documents:
The structure of the exam timetable is agreed by all the JCQ awarding bodies and many factors are considered. We do not timetable examinations for weekends, bank holidays or school holidays, and religious festivals are taken into account wherever possible. We also use ‘clash statistics’ from previous series to avoid major clashes and feedback from centres to identify significant problems. There are no timetabled general qualification exams in the January series.
Note: In the final spreadsheets, we've highlighted in red any changes made since the provisional timetables were published.
* The June 2026 GCSE and Cambridge Nationals timetable was re-published on 1 September 2025 following the amended exam duration time for GCSE Geography B (J384).
