Frequently Asked Questions
When do GCSE and A-Level exams typically start?
GCSE and A-Level exams usually begin in mid-May and run until late June. The exact dates vary by subject and exam board. Results are released in mid-August.
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.
