I think it is 9:15am and 1:30pm for afternoon sessions. I think some schools choose to start exams earlier though. I don't think they can be started after one hour of the original start time. On the exam papers, there is usually a time provided on the front.You'll need to check with your school, but be aware of any changes to the exam board timetable when two exams are scheduled within one session - they might have move one to the morning or afternoon, particularly if they are long papers.

This really depends on schools/colleges. I think AM exams can start between 8.30-9.30, and PM exams between 1.00-2.00

gosh you guys are lucky! thats one heck of a last minute morning cramming session! my morning exams start at 9 and my afternoons exams start at.. 1 i think!! and we have to be there fifteen minutes early. It really does depend on the school, one of my friend has morning exams at 8.30. i swear it says 9.00 on the paper though....

Phone your school and find out? or ask a friend who is actually at your school taking the same exam?
