Timezone: Western European Time (WET)
Portugal operates on Western European Time (WET), UTC+0. Exam start times on the Cambridge timetable are set in local time for your centre. Confirm exact session times (AM/PM) with your school or exam centre.
Where to Find Your Timetable
- Your school – The exams officer will confirm your zone and provide the November 2026 timetable.
- Cambridge International – The Zone 3 timetable is available from Cambridge Timetables.
- Private candidates – If you’re not entered through a school, contact your nearest Cambridge-approved exam centre or British Council office in Portugal.
Tips for Portugal Students
- Use the correct zone – Confirm your exact zone with your centre; timetables differ by zone.
- This is the smaller sitting – The October/November series has fewer candidates than May/June. Many international schools still use it for retakes, private candidates and specific subject entries — check with your school which subjects you’re entered for.
- Past papers – Practice with papers from your zone’s session for the most accurate preparation.
Exam Windows
The October/November 2026 series spans:
- 28 September–2 October | 5–9 October | 12–16 October | 19–23 October
