When do A-Levels Start and Finish?

Studying at University requires you to be at a certain level academically. And in order to be accepted at university you will need to complete enough UCAS points to get into your university of choice.

‍

UCAS points are earned through taking exams while at school or college and for most students you will need to undertake A-Levels or their BTEC equivalent.

‍

Knowing when your A-Levels start and Finish is going to help you prepare for these exams so you can plan, revise and get the results that you want to get into the university of your choice.

‍

Students often ask us "When do A-Levels start and Finish?" as they need time to plan for their exams. So when do A-Levels start and Finish?

‍

A-Levels start and finish in May and June. GCSEs start and end on the same date too.

‍

A-Level dates can change but generally, they start towards the end of May and end in June. To get the exact dates ask your teacher what examing board you are with and then check the exact dates on their website.

‍

Your exam timetable will also depend on how many subjects you are taking, what subjects you are taking and if there are other additional requirements for your exams such as speaking or listening.

‍

When do A-Levels Start?

‍

To see when your A-Level exams start and end you can check out the following exam board websites:

‍

• AQA

• CCEA

‍

When do A-Level Exams finish?

‍

Every student will have a slightly different A-Level exam timetable but as a rough guide, your A-Level exams will have finished by the 28th of June this year.

‍

Why is knowing when your A-Levels start and finish a good idea?

‍

Knowing when your A-Levels start and finish is a good idea for planning ahead for your revision and it's also good for knowing which order you should revise your subjects in too.

‍

When you finish in school you generally have around 4 weeks until your exams, we recommend that you use this time to go over mock exams. By doing so you will familiarise yourself with the exam formats and knowing what questions have been asked in the past is a great way of preparing yourself for what could come up in your paper.

‍

Mock exams are one of the best ways to revise for your A-Levels as the exam formats don't change around that much, this can be said for university too. If you can, get your hands on as many mock papers as possible and revise them until you score high on all of them.

‍

If you want to get the most UCAS points you can get to get into university mock papers can help.

Moving to university and self-storage

‍

Getting to university can take a lot of hard work but once you have put the steps in place things will move quickly.

‍

Once you get your results and you are accepted everything will be a blur. With A-Levels, you should get your results in August and if you are accepted to the university of your choice you will have to start planning your move.

‍

If you are moving to Wales and need storage to keep your items safe in between terms or years at university. At Pink Storage, we have storage in many locations in Wales including Cardiff, Swansea and Newport.

‍

Many students will leave renting a storage unit until the last moment but that's not advised as storage space around the country fills up quickly when students start back at University. If you would like to see the affordable storage options we have available please get in touch with one of our members of staff who will advise you on the best storage options available.
