When is A-Level results day 2027?

A-Level results day 2027 is Thursday 12 August 2027, one week before GCSE results day on Thursday 19 August. Schools and colleges receive results the day before, on Wednesday 11 August, and university places are confirmed through UCAS on results day.

What time do A-Level exams start?

Morning A-Level exams start at 9:00am and afternoon exams at 1:30pm, the standard session times across AQA, Edexcel and OCR. Centres can adjust timings slightly within a session, so check the personal timetable your school or college issues and arrive at least 15 minutes early.

What is the A-Level contingency day 2027?

Wednesday 23 June 2027 is the exam boards' contingency day, with morning and afternoon sessions held in reserve in case national disruption forces any paper to be rescheduled. All A-Level students must stay available up to and including 23 June, even after sitting their last timetabled paper.

When is the deadline for A-Level entries in 2027?

Schools and colleges must enter candidates for the June 2027 exams by 21 February 2027. Requests for access arrangements such as extra time must be processed by 21 March 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do GCSE and A-Level exams typically start?
GCSE and A-Level exams usually begin in early or mid-May and finish in late June, with a contingency day held at the end of the series. The exact dates vary by subject and exam board. A-Level results come out on a Thursday in mid-August, and GCSE results a week later.
Are exam dates the same for all exam boards?
Core subjects like Maths, English, and Sciences now have aligned dates across AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. However, some subjects still vary by board, so always check your specific exam board's timetable.
How can tutoring help with exam preparation?
A tutor can create a personalised revision plan, identify knowledge gaps, teach exam technique, and provide practice with past papers. Many students improve by 1-2 grades with focused exam preparation.
How far in advance should I start tutoring before exams?
We recommend starting at least 3-6 months before exams for best results. However, even a few weeks of intensive tutoring can make a significant difference to grades.
What happens on results day?
GCSE results are typically released on the third Thursday of August, and A-Level results on the Thursday before. Results can be collected from your school or accessed online if your school offers this.
