IGCSE Exam Timetable and Session Dates: Cambridge & Edexcel 2025-2026
IGCSE Exam Timetable and Session Dates
Knowing when IGCSE exams run and when results are released helps you plan revision and other commitments. Timetables are published by each board and then confirmed by your centre.

| May/June | April–June | August |

Exact dates per subject are on the Cambridge website and in your centre’s timetable. You get a Statement of Entry with your personal exam dates.
Edexcel International GCSE Sessions

| May/June | May–June | August |
| October/November | Oct–Nov | January |
Subject-level dates are on the Pearson website; your centre will confirm your own timetable.
How to Use the Timetable
- Plan revision so heavier subjects get more time before their exam dates.
- Avoid clashes: Centres manage timetables so you don’t have two exams at the same time.
- Results: Use the approximate results dates to plan retakes, cash-in, or next steps (e.g. A-Level, university).
