Notes on the Edexcel A-level 2027 timetable
In 2027 Biology Paper 1 moves from 4 June to the afternoon of Monday 7 June 2027, which is also when other boards place Computer Science, so a student combining Edexcel Biology with another board's Computer Science needs the school to sort a clash. Physics Paper 2 swaps from a morning to an afternoon, and Chemistry Paper 1 moves to the last Friday in May.
Maths has the neatest pattern: Paper 1 on 26 May, Paper 2 on 9 June and Paper 3 on 16 June, one fortnight and one week apart, all in the afternoon.
