Provisional version of the timetable
Leaving the examination
Centres must ensure that candidates take OCR’s
examinations at the times indicated on the timetable.
In notifying candidates of the dates and times of their
examinations, centres must not place reliance upon
the provisional timetable which is provided for the
purpose of consultation only.
Timetable deviations
The final version of the timetable will be published in
June 2015.
Candidates must remain under supervision until 10.00
am for morning examinations and until 2.30 pm for
afternoon examinations. For examinations of less than
one hour’s duration, candidates must be supervised
until the published finishing time of the examination
or 30 minutes after the published starting time,
whichever is later.
If you need to arrange overnight supervision, the
forms do not need to be returned to OCR but must be
completed and held in your centre records. When a
change is made to the published starting time of an
examination, it is the responsibility of the centre to
inform all candidates affected by the alteration.
Starting times of examinations
The published starting time of all examinations is either
9.00 am or 1.30 pm. Each examination must be taken
on the day and at the time shown on the timetable.
Centres may change the starting time of an
examination within the scheduled morning or
afternoon session without notifying OCR but
candidates must start morning examinations no
earlier than 8.30 am and by 9.30 am and afternoon
examinations no earlier than 1.00 pm and by 2.00 pm.
Exams Timetable Tool
The exams timetable tool contains dates for OCR, AQA,
Edexcel and WJEC examinations It is available via The
Exams Office website, www.theexamsoffice.org and can
be used to search, collate, export and print timetable
information. Please note that you will need to be a
member to access the information. Enquiries about
membership for this site must be directed to The Exams
Office directly and not the individual awarding bodies.
Candidates with more than one examination in a
session should take these consecutively. A supervised
break may be given between examinations taken
consecutively at the discretion of the centre.
Centres may decide the order in which to conduct
examinations for candidates taking more than one
examination in a session.
