The deadline for the teacher to submit your oral exam is the 28th May. As it depends on your school, it could be in some point in April to late into May.

I was unable to find it for AQA A Level German, but for Pearson (edexcel) A Level languages
https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/A%20Level/French/2016/forms-and-administration/adminsupportguide-2020.pdf
The speaking assessment period is from Monday 15th April to Friday 17th May.

But from https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/languages/as-and-a-level/german-7662/scheme-of-assessment#:~:text=Speaking%20assessments%20will%20be%20conducted,d%20during%20April%20and%20May.

‘Speaking assessments will be conducted by either the school or college or a visiting examiner. All assessments must be recorded and a complete and unedited audio recording made available to AQA.
All assessments will be assessed by an AQA examiner.
A five-week window will be timetabled during April and May. All assessments must be conducted within this period.’

Tomorrow, ask/email your German teacher/exam officer about what day they are planning to do the speaking exam.
