DD is in year 9, and i need to know if your children had any exams in October of their year 10. She thinks she may have a science one. I realise that all schools may have different timetables, any teachers out there who can help - are GCSE exams taken roughly at the same time in all schools?

Thanks for any help!

I teach AQA science - we have modular exams in October, March and June of year 10, then the final exams at the end of year 11.

It will depend upon the exam board and the syllabus followed. In this area some kids have some exams in Year 10 and some have none.

Not a teacher, but ds is in Yr 10. He's doing all three sciences as separate subjects. Currently revising for the first module exam which will take place in May. Is also doing coursework with deadline of late April. He certainly hasn't done any previous GCSE modules since Sept of last yr. All three sciences are done on the OCR board. Aqa/Edexl may be different.
