GCSE Exam Timetable 2015

Does anyone know an approximate end date for the GCSE exams in 2015? Exam boards are OCR and AQA.

We have a much anticipated family event over the weekend of 20th/21st June and I'm hoping DD will be able to fully relax and enjoy herself after her exams.

I've already checked her school website.

I think the dates will be on the exam boards' websites. The AS Levels certainly are.

It depends on the subjects, the less common ones tend to be later.

GCSE exams are usually over by mid June. My dd had her last one on the 13th (out of 21 exams Shock) this year. Some doing additional maths had their last one on the 16th of June. It's more than likely that she will have had her last exam by then. Smile

ds was finished by then this year, I think the last exam at their school was on Friday 20th but another board had a few papers the following week (ie. additional maths).

Is she doing triple science? That tends to end late.

Thank you all for replying.

It looks like she may have her final exam - a DT paper - on Monday 22nd. Her teacher did say it was one if the last papers that they sit. It's her favourite subject so she will be well prepared and not trying to cram two years worth of knowledge into her last revision session Smile

Maybe I was hoping it would be me that could relax Grin Grin

Not doing triple science or additional maths. I don't think I could handle a stressed teenager the weekend before those exams.

Mind you I have been trying to read the timetables on my phone screen so I could have got mixed up about the last exam. Both boards seem to finish on 23rd June.
