Summer 2023 exam timetables
We’d like to thank schools and colleges for their comments regarding the provisional timetables. Where possible, these have been taken into consideration by JCQ and the awarding bodies.
JCQ awarding bodies have now published their final timetables for the summer 2023 examination series.
These include GCSE, GCE AS and A level examinations and can be found on individual awarding body websites:
