How we work this out
What it does
Pick your board for each subject and your tier: see only your own papers, in date order, with times and lengths.
Every written paper for GCSE Maths, English Language, English Literature, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Combined Science on AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR in the May/June 2027 series.
Method
- We transcribe each board's final June 2027 timetable file by script: date, morning or afternoon, and length of every paper.
- You choose a specification for each subject and a tier for Maths and for Science. We list only the papers for that specification and tier, in date order.
- Two of your papers in the same session are shown as sharing a session; boards ask schools to run them one after the other.
