IGCSE Registration Deadlines: Cambridge & Edexcel

Missing the IGCSE registration deadline can mean waiting until the next session (often several months) or paying late entry fees. Here are the main cycles and what to aim for.

Cambridge IGCSE Exam Sessions and Deadlines

Session	Exam period	Typical registration window	Results
February/March	Feb–Mar	Around Oct–Dec (varies by region)	May
May/June	Apr–Jun	From autumn; standard deadline often Feb	August
October/November	Oct–Nov	Around May–Aug	January

Practical: Register as soon as your centre opens entries. Standard deadline is usually mid-February for May/June and mid-August for October/November—confirm exact dates with your centre.

Edexcel International GCSE Sessions and Deadlines

Session	Exam period	Typical registration	Results
January	January	Around Oct–Nov	March
May/June	May–Jun	Early in year; confirm with centre	August
October/November	Oct–Nov	Around Aug–Sep	January

Late Entry and Fees

Both boards allow late entry for a limited time after the standard deadline. Late fees (often 25–50% extra) apply. After the late window, no further entries are accepted for that session.
