Find out when to run OxfordAQA exams

OxfordAQA examinations should begin at 7.00am UK time (unless there is a clash – see below for more information). Please note that British Summer Time is observed by the UK during the May/June series and will have some impact which should be considered when planning.

The precise timings that the exams commence and materials can be accessed in your region are included on our time zone guide.

Exam clashes

Despite best efforts to coordinate exam scheduling so that clashes are avoided, you may find that some students’ exams are scheduled for the same time. Please refer to sections 7.1 to 8.6 of the JCQ ‘Instructions for conducting examinations’ (external link) to see how these clashes may be managed.
