GCSE Countdown 2027

Build a free personalised GCSE countdown for 2027 using the official AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and Eduqas written-paper dates. GCSE exams begin on Monday 10 May 2027 and the last timetabled papers are on Friday 18 June 2027, with 23 June 2027 as the contingency day and results day on Thursday 19 August 2027. Published sessions start at 09:00 (morning) and 13:30 (afternoon) — your school timetable is always the final word.

How to use it

  1. Add each subject with the exam board your school entered you for — boards can differ by subject.
  2. Choose Foundation or Higher where the subject is tiered so you only see your own papers.
  3. See a live countdown to your next paper, your full chronological schedule and any possible session clashes.
  4. Export the dates to your calendar, then build a revision timetable around them.
