Exams Contingency Days for Summer 2025 public examinations
The Joint Council of Qualifications (JCQ) have stated that all students must be available on 11 and 25 June 2025 in case examinations need to be rearranged due to a local or national emergency. This means that even though the exam board timetables may show that a student completes their examinations in mid-June, they must keep these days free until they have taken their last examination.

Wednesday 25 June is the last date that any examination can take place on, should it have to be moved from its original time / date. The JCQ states: “The designation of a ‘contingency day’ within the common examination timetable is in the event of national or local disruption to examinations. It is part of the awarding bodies’ contingency planning for examinations”.
