A-level timetable 2027: what stands out
The 2027 timetable adds a clash that 2026 did not have. Biology Paper 1 and Computer Science Paper 1 are in the same afternoon, Monday 7 June 2027, at AQA, and the matching OCR papers are too. Maths is the steadiest subject, an afternoon paper on 26 May, 9 June and 16 June.
Between 28 May and 7 June there are 10 days with no paper at all in these subjects at the English boards, and then a dense fortnight: Physics Paper 3, Maths Paper 2, Chemistry Paper 2, Biology Paper 2, Computer Science Paper 2, Maths Paper 3, Chemistry Paper 3, Biology Paper 3. The JCQ commentary notes moves for French and Music A-level papers, not for these subjects.
