Where the dates come from

Every date in the Explorer comes from an official awarding-body timetable or assessment schedule, and every record links back to the document it came from. JCQ key dates are used as a cross-board check for the common Summer 2027 series.

What this Explorer covers

How we verify the timetable data

Short version: we do not retype dates. Every record is generated from the awarding body's own published document and checked back against it automatically.

The full method
  1. Keep the original awarding-body record separate from the normalised tutor2u record.
  2. Use official final PDF timetables as the publication authority, and official spreadsheets where available for ingestion.
  3. Retain board, qualification, component code, date, session or window, published start time, duration, source and verification date for each record.
  4. Represent tiered, optional and unit-based entries explicitly, so students are not shown papers they do not actually take.
  5. Keep an immutable local copy of every source document and record its SHA-256 fingerprint, so a republished timetable is detected rather than assumed.
  6. Re-read every source document independently of the ingestion path and compare each record against it on code, date, session and duration before publishing.
  7. When an awarding body republishes, compare the new document against the archived one and review exactly which records moved before approving any change.

This process has already caught and corrected two errors that no structural check would have found — an AS Economics paper given its A-level sibling’s session, and a GCSE History option set given the wrong half of the day.

Published start times: for GCSE, AS and A-level written exams on the JCQ common timetable, published sessions normally start at 09:00 and 13:30. Your centre may use a permitted variation, so always check your individual centre timetable. BTEC and T Level set tasks and assessment windows are scheduled by your centre inside the published window and do not use these times. Why might my school show a different start time? →
BTEC set tasks and windows: many BTEC external assessments are not fixed sittings. They run inside a published window, often with a pre-release Part A and a supervised Part B, and the centre chooses the exact session. Windows, release dates and submission deadlines are shown where Pearson publishes them.
JCQ contingency day: GCSE, AS and A-level candidates should remain available up to and including Wednesday 23 June 2027.
