Cambridge IGCSE Exam Dates November 2026
The full per-paper timetable for the Cambridge October/November 2026 series: 28 September 2026 to 13 November 2026, 1653 papers across all six administrative zones, covering Cambridge IGCSE, IGCSE (9-1), O Level, AS Level and A Level. Pick your zone below, then filter by level and subject. Results are released on 7 January 2027 for AS & A Level and 14 January 2027 for IGCSE and O Level.
Cambridge schedules the same paper at different times in different zones for exam security, so make sure you are reading your own zone.
Disclaimer: These dates are transcribed from Cambridge's published zone timetables (each one linked below).
Always confirm your exact papers and start times with your school's exams officer, who holds the final version for your centre.

Cambridge groups exam centres into administrative zones, and your zone decides when each paper is sat.
Which zone am I in, and which dates are mine?
- Start with your own school. Your school or exams officer confirms your own papers, dates and times. Whatever they give you for your own entry is the version to plan around — it beats this page and every other published timetable.
- If you do not know your centre's zone, look it up at Cambridge. Cambridge sets out its administrative zones on its own site — check your centre's location on Cambridge's administrative zone page — then select that zone above and the whole page switches to it.
- Confirm it with your exams officer. They are told which zone the centre sits in, and they hold the final timetable for your centre, including the exact start times, which Cambridge leaves to the centre to set.
Cambridge also publishes a separate UK edition of the Zone 3 timetable (PDF), whose paper dates and times are identical to Zone 3 for this series, so Zone 3 above covers both.
Find your subject — Zone 4
Every syllabus with a dated paper in Zone 4 (112 of them), grouped by level and listed A–Z, with how many timetabled sittings it has in this series and the first and last day they are sat. A syllabus appears under each level at which it has papers here. A count here is of timetabled sittings, which can exceed the number of papers one candidate sits, because a syllabus can offer alternative components. Your school or exams officer confirms which of them are yours. Select a subject to filter the schedule to it. The schedule below lists the dated components for this zone, the science practicals among them. The components your zone's timetable gives a window rather than a date, such as speaking and oral components, are listed under test date windows.

Test date windows — Zone 4
These components are listed separately on your zone's timetable, outside the dated schedule above: speaking and oral components, and the practicals in subjects such as Art & Design, ICT and Food & Nutrition. The science practicals are not in this table; they appear in the dated schedule above. Each row shows what the timetable gives for that component, which is a window in most cases and a single date in some. Where it is a window, your centre sets the exact date and time within it. The entries differ by syllabus, and the component number differs by zone, so read the rows for Zone 4 only. Your exams officer confirms when your own component runs.

Components with a test date window
Windows vary by syllabus
Speaking and oral components, and the practicals Cambridge lists outside the dated schedule. Most carry a window, and where they do your centre sets the date inside it; a few carry a fixed date instead — see the test date windows for your zone.
Standard Entry Deadline
16 August 2026
Final entries for new candidates
Late Entry Deadline
21 September 2026
Also the deadline for June 2026 retake entries

Per Cambridge's published key dates. Your centre confirms how and when you collect them.
Entry note: Entries are made through your school's exams officer, not by students directly. For this series the standard deadline was 16 August 2026 and the late deadline (extra fee), which was also the cutoff for June 2026 retake entries, was 21 September 2026. Both have now passed, so if you are not already entered, ask your exams officer about the next series. An earlier "estimated entries" step (10 May) is a planning estimate schools submit in advance, not a registration cutoff.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Cambridge IGCSE November 2026 exam?
The dated papers for the Cambridge October/November 2026 series run from 28 September 2026 to 13 November 2026. Components listed with a test date window, such as speaking and oral tests, can fall outside that range. Your own paper dates depend on your subject and your centre's administrative zone, so use the zone buttons and level tabs above to see the exact day and session for each paper. Biology, Chemistry and Physics practicals are dated in that schedule alongside the written papers. The components Cambridge lists separately - speaking and oral components, and the practicals in subjects such as Art & Design, ICT and Food & Nutrition - are under "Test date windows" below instead.
Where can I see the full November 2026 subject-by-subject timetable?
It is on this page. Cambridge publishes one timetable per administrative zone, and all six are reproduced above: 1653 papers in total, with the date, day, session and duration for each one. The original PDFs are linked in "Official source documents", and your exams officer holds the final version for your centre.
How do I know which zone my centre is in?
Cambridge groups exam centres into six administrative zones, numbered 1 to 6, and the zone decides when each paper is sat. Ask your school's exams officer, who is told which zone the centre belongs to; Cambridge explains the zones here. Cambridge also issues a UK edition of the Zone 3 timetable, which for this series lists exactly the same papers, dates and times as Zone 3.
What do the AM, PM and EV sessions mean?
AM is a morning paper, PM an afternoon one, and EV an evening one, which a few zones use for a small number of papers in this series. The exact clock time is set by your exam centre under Cambridge's key time rules, so treat AM, PM and EV as the session, not the start time, and get the times themselves from your exams officer.
When do speaking, oral and practical components take place?
It depends on the component. The Biology, Chemistry and Physics practicals have a fixed date on the schedule above, like any other paper. The speaking and oral components, and the practicals in subjects such as Art & Design, ICT and Food & Nutrition, are not on that schedule: they appear in the test date windows table, which gives a window in most cases and a single date in some. Where it is a window, your centre sets the exact date and time within it. The windows differ by syllabus, so there is no single speaking date for the series: the "Test date windows" table above lists every one for your zone, taken from your zone's official Cambridge timetable. Your exams officer confirms when your own component is being run.
Can I download this timetable or add it to my calendar?
Yes. Pick your zone, level and subjects, then use CSV for a spreadsheet of exactly those papers, or Calendar for an ICS file you can import into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. The calendar file uses indicative session times, because Cambridge leaves the exact start time to your centre, so check each entry against your centre's timings.
Which countries take the November exam series?
Cambridge runs the October/November series worldwide and groups the exam centres that sit it into the six administrative zones on this page, rather than by country. Whether your own centre is entered for this series is decided locally, so your school's exams officer is the person to ask. The series is also used as a retake opportunity by students who sat the May/June series.
What if two of my exams fall in the same session?
Tell your exams officer as soon as you spot it. Clashes are handled by the centre, which arranges for you to sit the papers one after the other under supervision, following Cambridge's rules. Filtering this page to your own subjects makes clashes easy to spot: look for two papers on the same day in the same session.
When are November 2026 results released?
Cambridge releases results for this series in January 2027: 7 January for Cambridge International AS & A Level and 14 January for Cambridge IGCSE and O Level, per Cambridge's published key dates (linked above). Your school decides how and when it passes results to you, so confirm the arrangements with your exams officer.
Can I use November 2026 for IGCSE retakes?
Yes, the November series is commonly used for retakes. If you sat exams in May/June 2026 and want to improve your grades, you could register for the November session up to the late entry deadline of 21 September 2026, which has now passed. If you missed it, ask your exams officer which series you can enter next.
