EXAM CONTINGENCY DAYS 2024

Following the Covid-19 pandemic, further resilience was needed within the exam timetables. A single contingency day was not felt to be sufficient if a national event or incident had a significant effect on the exam timetable. For example, summer exams could be affected by extremely high temperatures.

For the June 2024 exams, the awarding bodies have therefore introduced two additional half-day contingency sessions. These are on Thursday 6 June 2024 and Thursday 13 June 2024. The standard contingency day remains at the end of the timetable being scheduled on Wednesday 26 June 2024.

Candidates must remain available until Wednesday 26 June 2024 should examinations need to be rescheduled.


EXAM CLASHES

A “clash” means that you have multiple exams timetabled on the same day at the same time. In this case one of your exams will be moved to an earlier or later time, and you will receive an amended timetable. For more information about what will happen on the day please read the Clash Information document below.
