Students in Germany (Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and across the country) sitting the Cambridge International A Level October/November 2026 exams need to use the timetable for their administrative zone. Schools in Germany are typically allocated to Cambridge Zone 3 — the same zone used for IGCSE at the same centre.

Cambridge runs AS/A Level entries through the same combined October/November session as IGCSE, so these deadlines match across qualifications at your centre.

Timezone: Central European Time (CET)

Germany operates on Central European Time (CET), UTC+1. 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

1. Your school – The exams officer will confirm your zone and provide the November 2026 A Level timetable.
2. Cambridge International – The Zone 3 timetable is available from Cambridge Timetables.
3. Private candidates – If you’re not entered through a school, contact your nearest Cambridge-approved exam centre or British Council office in Germany.

Tips for Germany A Level 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 A Level candidates than May/June, and is commonly used for AS retakes, A2 completions, and university-application timing where an autumn result is needed.
• University deadlines – If you’re applying with predicted or January-released results, check how this results date (7 January 2027) lines up with any application deadlines you’re working to.
• Past papers – Practice with papers from your zone’s session for the most accurate preparation.
