We never take dates from memory, forums, social media or other revision websites, even when they turn out to be right.
What happens before a timetable is published?
We say it isn't published yet. We don't estimate exam dates, and we never present last year's timetable as this year's. When the official timetable appears, we add it the same day and update the "Last checked" date.
What does "checked" mean?
The "Checked" date at the top of every page is the date a person last compared the page against the official source. It only changes when that check actually happens, not when we fix a typo or change the design. We recheck a dated page whenever its official source is updated.
Our publishing system adds safeguards: it refuses to publish a date whose source isn't an official exam body, imports paper-by-paper timetables directly from the boards' own files rather than retyping them, and flags any timetable that hasn't been rechecked for 30 days.
Who edits ExamTime?
ExamTime is edited by Paul Moore. Every page is written for a real question students and parents ask, and is reviewed by a person before it goes live.
How do we handle mistakes?
If you spot a wrong date, email corrections@examtime.com. We fix confirmed errors the same day and note the change at the foot of the page, so you can see what changed and when.
Do we host past papers?
No. Past papers and marking schemes belong to the exam bodies, so we link to the SEC's archive and to each exam board's own website instead.
