Exam dates
We use only dates from each board's own published timetable (last checked Sunday 18 October 2026). Where a board has not published yet, the plan waits for it.
- IGCSE Maths, Edexcel 4MA1, June 2027First paper Friday 14 May 2027. Week 1 starts Friday 2 April 2027; the final prediction set opens Friday 30 April 2027. Official timetable
- IGCSE Maths, Cambridge 0580, June 2027Dates confirmed when Cambridge publishes. Sign up now and your plan starts by itself. Cambridge exam timetables
Check your own dates and start times with your school: boards sometimes change a timetable after publishing it. All dates: IGCSE Maths exam dates.
The final prediction set
Week 5 starts on release day, 14 days before your first paper: a final set of full timed papers with mark schemes and worked solutions. One full paper is free with your account; the whole set comes with Pro or the exam pass.
Each paper is written for your course and checked independently, and a paper opens only once it has been checked and signed off. Until then, week 5 uses our prediction papers: prediction papers.
The night before
- Your candidate number, black pens, a pencil, ruler, protractor and compasses.
- Your calculator, charged and allowed by your board (none for Cambridge 0580 Papers 1 and 2).
- Plan your time: about a minute per mark, and leave five minutes to check.
- Sleep: an early night does more than a late revision session.
