Email or call whoever is managing your exams and inquire about what is going on, and don't panic or worry over your results, when I sat my Eng Lang GCSE a while ago I was panicking because it was my weakest subject but I left with a grade 5 (I was 2 marks from a grade 6). I wish you the best of luck with your exams!

Can you find the exam timetable on your exam board's website to check? (Some people still use June to refer to the summer exam period in general, so they may not have meant June in a literal sense if this was discussed before exam timetables were available.)

Why did you book a holiday in school time?

Nothings been changed. Unit 2 exam is planned for (and has been for a while) for 10th May 2023, but as @Interia has said, they are called May/June exams. Either way, as @Muttley79 has already stated, why have you planned a holiday in term time, especially so close to the end of a course. Even if the exam was in June, surely you would be attending essential revision classes in May for the new exam, particularly if you struggled with this one. Lets hope you did better than you thought and at least get enough marks for a Pass or Near Pass.

The exam period is always may/June. Same as GCSEs and A levels. Why are you booking a holiday in the standard exam window and term time?

Has been on Pearson website since October and also sent to Exams officers. Teachers should all have access to / input to the overall assessment plan when they plan course delivery so I'm surprised they weren't aware of exam dates. https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/exams/exam-timetables.html

If i’m not mistaken it says IT - Creating Systems to Manage Information Unit 2 Part A is set for 9th May 2023 and part B has no date released?
