when do exam dates get released?

My mam has booked a holiday next year for the 28th June, and I'm worried I still have exams then! what should I do?

exam dates should have already been released?! are you doing gcse or a level? check your college/school website and see if there is the exam timetable is on there which it should be (only for this year though)- if not ask any of your friends to send you a picture of this years. you may also need to get a holiday form if your school/college requires you to have one since some colleges/schools may require students back after exams finish to start a2 year, but if your just finishing gcse's it should hopefully be ok since you'll have definitely finished exams and left secondary school by then :smile:

What subjects do you do? It tends to only be the maths and science subjects that have exams at the end of June - most other a level exams finish 23/34/25 June

maths, further maths, psychology and business
End of October or earlier. There's a JCQ PDF online with key dates on it. You probably wouldn't have exams that late in June.

It's very unlikely to have exams that late, considering they're not until next year you will have to wait until the start of the academic year to find out (someone has given a specific above^)

One of my friends has an a2 maths exam 29th June this year, so I'd cancel the holiday if I were you

Edexcel, though other exam boards are probably similar - look at when the a2 exams are this year and it'll probably be the same next year

Is this the exam board you mean ( I've never heard of it before that's all) there are a couple that are on the 29th June, though it depends which papers you're going to do :smile:

This is the exam timetable for this year, so it'll probably be similar dates for next year - though as long as you're not doing any of the modules that tend to have later exams you should be fine
