Notes on the WJEC A-level 2026 timetable
Wales units are numbered by year: AS Units 1 and 2, then A2 Units 3 and 4. Eduqas uses AS Components 1 and 2 and A level Components 1 to 3. The two often share a day, for example Chemistry AS on Tuesday 12 May, and the Eduqas A level Components for the same subject then run on their own dates.
The Maths table holds Wales units only. Eduqas Biology Component 3 is the last science paper of the series on Tuesday 16 June 2026. Computer Science rows are Wales and Eduqas A2 units on 10 and 17 June.
