What this page doesn't cover — on purpose
This page deliberately does not list day-by-day, paper-by-paper exam dates (e.g. "Chemistry 0620 Paper 2 — 14 October, morning"). Cambridge publishes those in a full timetable that varies by administrative zone and by which papers a school has entered candidates for — reproducing it here would mean either omitting the detail that actually matters to a specific student, or risking an out-of-date date that leads someone to miss an exam. For your exact paper-by-paper timetable, always confirm with your school's exams officer, or see Cambridge's own exam administration pages. The dates on this page — entry deadlines, the overall exam window, and results-release dates — are the ones that are the same for every student in a given series, which is why they can be stated reliably here.
Deadlines are easier to hit with a study plan built around them. A teacher can help you pace your revision to this series.
