External Exam Timetables: Summer 2025
GCSE Exams, 2025 A-Level Exams, 2025 Summer 2025 Exam contingency days The awarding bodies have collectively agreed a contingency day for several years now which is always scheduled at the end of the GCSE, GCE A-level exam timetables. The contingency day is in the event of national or significant local disruption to exams in the United Kingdom, being part of the awarding bodies’ standard contingency planning for exams. Following the Covid-19 pandemic, further resilience was needed within the exam timetables. A single contingency day was not felt to be sufficient if a national event or incident had a significant effect on the exam timetable. For example, summer exams could be affected by extremely high temperatures. For the Summer 2025 exams, the contingency sessions are on Wednesday 11 June 2025 (PM) and Wednesday 25 June 2025 (all day). Candidates must remain available up to and including Wednesday 25 June 2025 should examinations need to be rescheduled. Summer 2025 Exam contingency days
The awarding bodies have collectively agreed a contingency day for several years now which is always scheduled at the end of the GCSE, GCE AS and A-level exam timetables. The contingency day is in the event of national or significant local disruption to exams in the United Kingdom, being part of the awarding bodies’ standard contingency planning for exams. Following the Covid-19 pandemic, further resilience was needed within the exam timetables. A single contingency day was not felt to be sufficient if a national event or incident had a significant effect on the exam timetable. For example, summer exams could be affected by extremely high temperatures. For the Summer 2025 exams, the awarding bodies have therefore introduced an additional half-day contingency session on Wednesday 11th June 2025 (PM). The standard contingency day remains at the end of the timetable being scheduled on Wednesday 25 June 2025. Candidates must remain available up to and including Wednesday 25 June 2024 should examinations need to be rescheduled.
