What time do AQA GCSE exams start?

The contingency day is Wednesday 23 June 2027. It's only used if national or significant local disruption stops exams going ahead, so keep it free.

Taking subjects with other boards too? See the full GCSE 2027 timetable for AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR together.
