Notes on the OCR A-level 2027 timetable
The 2027 shift to note is H446/01. It moves forward from 10 June to the afternoon of Monday 7 June 2027, joining Biology Paper 1 in the same session, so OCR Biology and OCR Computer Science students should talk to their exams officer now. H446/02 moves earlier too, to the morning of 15 June.
Between the two years, H556/01 changes from Wednesday afternoon to Friday morning, H432/01 moves five days from 2 June to 28 May, and H240/01 and H640/01 move to 26 May. The JCQ commentary also records a change in language papers and music, but none for these subjects.
