2025 National Qualifications exams - dates
The NQ exam diet in 2025 will start on Wednesday 23 April and finish on Monday 2 June. This includes a Bank Holiday and a day for contingency purposes. Results Day will be Tuesday 5 August 2025.
We appreciate that the exams start just after the Easter weekend which is later in 2025. This is in line with our normal start date, and it ensures that we’ve sufficient time to complete all marking and exam procedures. It also means that we’re able to result candidates in early August.
We’ll publish the full timetable on our website before the end of this session.
