Entry note: Entries are made through your school's exams officer, not by students directly. The 16 August standard deadline is the one that matters for registration; 21 September is the late deadline (extra fee) and the cutoff for June 2026 retakes. An earlier "estimated entries" step (10 May) is a planning estimate schools submit in advance, not a registration cutoff. Confirm your school's own internal deadline with your exams officer.
