What time does each paper start?
The Time column on this timetable reads Morning or Window, not a clock time. The notes page of the published timetable states that the published starting time of all examinations for UK centres is either 9:00am or 1:30pm, 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.

Filter by subject:
The calendar file writes Morning rows at 9:00am with the duration from the row, and the Window rows as all-day entries. The notes give the UK published starting times as 9:00am or 1:30pm, without mapping either to the Time column, so 9:00am is this file's choice for Morning rows; if your centre is not in the UK, check Pearson's international start times first.

The rows marked “Window”
5 of the 82 rows have Window in the Time column instead of Morning. They are all the same examination code, 4IT1 02 — Information And Communication Technology (ICT), Paper 2: Practical Exam — listed once on each of five days, Monday 9 November 2026 to Friday 13 November 2026, at 3h 00m each. Every other row on this timetable names one day and reads Morning.

Frequently asked questions
When are the Edexcel International GCSE November 2026 exams?
This timetable runs from Tuesday 27 October 2026 to Thursday 19 November 2026. It lists 82 rows spread over 18 exam days, and every row carries its own date, so there is no separate day-by-day key to read alongside it. Your own papers are whichever of these rows your school has you down for, which your exams officer confirms.
What time do these exams start?
The timetable gives a Time column rather than a clock time: Morning 77, Window 5. Its notes state that the published starting time of all examinations for UK centres is either 9:00am or 1:30pm, 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. Your exams officer is the person to confirm the timings for your own centre.
Why does one paper appear on five different days?
4IT1 02, Information And Communication Technology (ICT), Paper 2: Practical Exam, has a row on each of five days, from Monday 9 November 2026 to Friday 13 November 2026. Those 5 rows are the only ones on this timetable whose Time column reads Window rather than Morning, and each is listed at 3h 00m. Every other row on the page names a single day. Ask your exams officer which day and time your centre is running it.
Which subjects are on this timetable?
The Subject column uses 35 different names across the 82 rows, carrying 55 different examination code prefixes and 78 different examination codes in total. They are all listed, A to Z, in the subject index above, with the number of rows each one has and the first and last day those rows fall on. Selecting a subject there filters the schedule to it.
Which is the busiest day on this timetable?
Wednesday 11 November 2026, with 7 rows. Across the whole timetable the shortest row is 0h 35m and the longest is 3h 00m, with 12 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. Morning rows are written at 9:00am, the published UK starting time this timetable's notes give for a morning session, with the duration from the row. The Window rows carry no such time, so they are written as all-day entries. If you are not at a UK centre, check every entry against Pearson's international start times page before you rely on it.
Is this the official Edexcel timetable?
The rows on this page were transcribed from "International GCSE - November 2026 Final Timetable", the 19-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. This timetable puts more than one row in the same date and Time slot 18 times out of 23, and the fullest single slot holds 6 rows. On papers that land in one session, the notes page of this timetable states, in the same paragraph as its UK starting times, that candidates with more than one examination in a session should take these consecutively, and that a supervised break may be given between consecutive examinations. Tell your exams officer as soon as you spot two of your own papers on one day.
