External assessment

External assessment timetable

External assessments are delivered annually in Term 4.

The external assessments for General and General (Extension) subjects will be held from Monday 21 October to Tuesday 12 November 2024.

The 2024 external assessment timetable will be available in Term 2.

The external assessment timetable is designed to:

minimise clashes for students across the examination period. Where there is a clash within a morning or afternoon session, students will be allocated to the alternative session on the same day
ensure most students sit no more than two external assessments on one day
provide sufficient breaks between external assessments for popular courses and frequently combined courses
enable all external assessments to be marked in time for students to receive their final Year 12 results.
