Where to Find Your Timetable
- Check with your school – Your exams officer will confirm your administrative zone and provide the correct June 2026 timetable.
- Cambridge International – Download the Zone 5 or Zone 6 timetable from Cambridge Timetables.
- British Council Indonesia – If you’re a private candidate, the British Council provides exam administration in Indonesia.
Important for Indonesia Students
- Verify your zone – Indonesia schools may fall under Zone 5 or Zone 6; always confirm with your centre.
- Ramadan 2026 – Ramadan runs from 17/18 February to 19/20 March 2026 (approximately 30 days). The exams (23 April onwards) do not overlap with Ramadan—they begin over a month after Eid al-Fitr. However, revision does fall during Ramadan. If you’re fasting, consider planning study around suhoor and iftar (e.g. lighter revision in the afternoon, focused sessions before dawn or after sunset). Discuss any concerns with your school.
- Hajj and Eid ul Adha 2026 – The Hajj pilgrimage runs 21–31 May 2026, with Eid ul Adha on 26 May 2026. This does overlap with the exam period (exams run 23 April – 9 June). Check your exact exam dates during this period—you may have papers scheduled around Eid ul Adha. Plan family celebrations around your exam timetable and inform your school if you have any concerns.
- Arrive early – Jakarta and Surabaya traffic can be heavy; plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your exam.
