A-Levels 2022 are fast approaching. Before you know it, you’ll be well into your revision. There’s a lot to do, it seems like an uphill battle. We know your head is full right now of lots of things as well as exams, primarily what path your life will take after you’ve sat them:
- Whether you should take a gap year
- Which university you decide on
- How many points you need to study at your chosen institution
- What you can do if you don’t make the grade
These are all valid worries. But your mental health matters too so if you feel overwhelmed, remember there’s a lot of help out there. And there are things you can do to help yourself:
- A level revision websites
- A level revision apps
- Making revision cards
- Getting a tutor to help you
Remember to take it one step at a time. The first step is knowing exactly when your different exams are going to take place. Here we’ll tell you everything you need to know about the A level timetable 2022. Then, at least, you’ll see the light at the end of the study tunnel! 😃
What dates are 2022 A-level exams?
According to the A level timetable 2022, all AS and A levels will be held between May 16th and 28th June. June 29th has also been timetabled as a contingency day. The good news is that, as this will be the first post-covid year of sit-down exams, the government has adopted the summer exams to ensure fairness and you have access to advanced information for some exams. 👍
The time and date of your particular A or AS level depends on the exam board: OCR (the Cambridge a level exam timetable 2022) , AQA (the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance), Pearson (International A Levels) or WJEC Eduqas (for Wales). To make it easy, we’ve put the time and dates of A level timetable 2022 for each of the top 10 most popular subjects this year below: 👇

WJEC Eduqas
For all WJEC Wales and Eduqas Exams in summer 2022, look at the full timetable here.
What date do A Levels finish 2022?
The A level timetable 2022 finishes on 28th June. June 29th has also been timetabled as a contingency day.
What month are A-level exams 2022?
The A level timetable 2022 covers the months of May and June, starting in mid-May and finishing at the end of June.
Will there be Cambridge exams in 2022?
Yes, there will. These are the first traditional sit-down exams since 2019, and thankfully there won’t be an A Level algorithm in sight! 😍
When the day comes that you finish your exams, all you have to do is wait. You can start preparing for your next step. But before that, you might want to reward yourself with a gift, better still show this to your parents to give them some ideas!
And if you think your results don’t add up, there’s always the appeals process. Good luck with everything! You’ve got this! ⭐
