We realise the term ‘Summer 2023 exam dates’ contains words you both love and fear. And keeping track of when all the exams are can be a complete nightmare!
With hundreds of exams split into just 6 weeks (with a break in the middle), it can be really hard to get the right dates.
However, the examining boards have released the formal assessment dates and Beyond Revision is here to support you each step of the way. Let’s start with an overview:
Use the calendar on your phone, or a wall calendar, to make a note of when your exams are and add extra information, like the room or seat number, when you have it.
Below are the dates for all the GCSE and A Level exams only.
Remember, these dates are subject to change. Your school will provide a personalised exam timetable with finalised dates.
