What time does each paper start?

The Time column on this timetable reads Morning and Afternoon, not a clock time. The notes page of the published timetable states that each examination must be taken on the day and at the time shown on the timetable, and that international centres must refer to the relevant document setting out examination starting times for their timezone.

Pearson publishes that document here: international start times for Edexcel exams.

Frequently asked questions

When are the Edexcel International A Level January 2027 exams?
This timetable runs from Friday 8 January 2027 to Monday 25 January 2027. It lists 82 rows spread over 12 exam days, and every row carries its own date, so there is no separate day-by-day key to read alongside it. Which of these rows are yours is something your school's exams officer confirms.
What time do these exams start?
The timetable gives a Time column rather than a clock time: Morning 38, Afternoon 44. Its notes state that each examination must be taken on the day and at the time shown on the timetable, and that international centres must refer to the relevant document setting out examination starting times for their timezone, which Pearson publishes on its international start times page. That page is linked in the start times section above. This page does not print a clock time for any row, because this timetable does not carry one. Your exams officer is the person to confirm the timings for your own centre.
Which subjects are on this timetable?
16: Accounting, Arabic, Biology, Business, Chemistry, Economics, English Language, English Literature, French, Geography, German, History, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology and Spanish. Between them they account for all 82 rows and 82 different examination codes. The subject index above lists each one with the number of rows it has here and the first and last day those rows fall on, and selecting a subject filters the schedule to it.
Which is the busiest day on this timetable?
Tuesday 12 January 2027, Friday 15 January 2027 and Wednesday 20 January 2027, with 9 rows each. Across the whole timetable the shortest row is 1h 20m and the longest is 3h 00m, with 6 different durations in use. Filtering the schedule to your own subjects is the quickest way to see how your own days fall.
Can I download this timetable or add it to my calendar?
Yes. Filter the schedule to the subjects you want, then use CSV for a spreadsheet of exactly those rows, or Calendar for an ICS file you can import into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. The calendar entries are all-day entries carrying the date, the Time column and the duration, because this timetable gives no clock time to put them at. Add your own centre's start times once your exams officer has given them to you.
Is this the official Edexcel timetable?
The rows on this page were transcribed from "International A Level - January 2027 Final Timetable", the 18-page PDF Pearson publishes for this series, and that PDF is linked in full below. Where this page and that PDF differ, the PDF is right. Your school's exams officer is the person to confirm your own papers and start times with.
What if two of my papers are on the same day?
The schedule above groups every row for a day together, so filtering it to your own subjects makes that easy to see. No day on this timetable carries more than 9 rows in total, and every one of its 24 date and Time slots holds more than one row, the fullest holding 6. Tell your exams officer as soon as you spot two of your own papers on one day.
