Whilst I've taken every precaution that all the dates are correct, there may be changes in the future - even though these timetables are 'finalised' so please check each exam board's website to learn more.  

When is the last A-level exam in 2024?

Depending on the exam board, the last A-level exam varies. The final exam for most exam boards is Chemistry Paper 3 on the 21st of June. This is widely seen as the date when A-levels finish in 2024.

For Eduqas and Edexcel, the final A-level exam is Further Mathematics on Monday 24th June. 

Although not an A-level, Edexcel also has an exam on Tuesday 25th June. This is the "Advanced Extension Award Mathematics" - the absolute final GCE-tier exam out of the 4 major A-level exam boards. 

When do A-levels start in 2024?

Monday 13 May is the day regarded as the first A-level day for the 2024 exam series. A few subjects such as French and other languages have earlier deadlines for oral components, which can be worth over 30% of the overall grade. Many schools also require non-examined assessment (NEA/coursework) deadlines and the EPQ well in advance of the exams.

When is A level Results Day 2024?

A-level results day is Thursday 15 August 2024. Make sure to give yourself a good break beforehand, you deserve it! Schools receive your results the day before, and they are typically made available to students at 9AM on this day.
