There is no autumn A-Level resit series

A-Levels are examined in the summer only. The November window that people hear about covers GCSE English Language and Maths, not A-Levels — so a missed entry deadline costs a full year rather than a few months. Keep Wednesday, 23 June 2027 free as well: it is the designated contingency day for the whole series. How A-Level retakes work.

Full A-Level timetable, May/June 2027

Every timetabled A-Level and AS-Level paper, grouped by day. Codes are AQA specification codes. The boards agree common slots under JCQ, so most subjects align across Edexcel, OCR and WJEC — but A-Level component structures vary more than at GCSE, so check your own specification.

A-Level exam dates 2027, answered

When do A-Levels start in 2027?

A-Level exams begin on Monday, 10 May 2027. Every paper starts at either 09:00 or 13:30 — nothing is timetabled outside those two sessions.

When is the last A-Level exam in 2027?

The last scheduled A-Level paper is on Friday, 18 June 2027. Candidates must still remain available until the contingency day, Wednesday, 23 June 2027.

What is the A-Level contingency day for 2027?

Wednesday, 23 June 2027. It is held in reserve in case national disruption forces a paper to be moved, and no exams are timetabled on it. Do not book travel or start a job before it.

Is there a November A-Level resit series?

No. A-Levels are examined in the summer series only. The autumn resit window applies to GCSE English Language and Maths, not to A-Levels — so missing a summer entry deadline means waiting a full year for the next opportunity.

When are the A-Level practical endorsement deadlines?

Practical endorsement and non-exam assessment outcomes must reach the awarding body by set dates, the earliest being Saturday, 1 May 2027. Private candidates taking a science need the assessed sessions arranged well before this — it cannot be added at the last minute.

Do AS-Levels use the same timetable?

AS-Level papers appear in the same May/June series and on this timetable, but AS is a separate, standalone qualification — its marks do not count towards the A-Level grade.

Do all exam boards use the same A-Level dates?

The boards agree common timetable slots under the Joint Council for Qualifications, so most subjects sit on the same day across AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC. Component structures differ more at A-Level than at GCSE, so confirm against the specification you are entered for.

When are A-Level results released in 2027?

A-Level results day falls in the second half of August, ahead of GCSE results day. Awarding bodies publish the exact date for each series — check the current date before making UCAS plans around it.

GCSE dates 2027 What exams are on today A-Level retakes Entry deadlines

Dates taken from AQA's confirmed May/June 2027 timetable, retrieved 2026-09-07. View the official source. Awarding bodies can issue revised versions — always confirm against your board and your Statement of Entry.

Entering A-Levels privately in 2027?

Summer entries close the winter before, and there is no autumn series to fall back on.
