We will run our November 2022 exam series as scheduled where it is safe and permitted to do so.
Component exemptions, component adjustments and guidance for components are available in our November 2022 series. You can also apply for special consideration for candidates if they unexpectedly, but for an acceptable reason, cannot take some of the components for which they were entered.

Entries
The first-time entry deadline for November 2022 is 16 August 2022. You can make late entries until 21 September 2022, but you will be charged a late entry fee. Please make any late entries as early as possible, so that we can get your question papers and other exam materials to you in time for the exams. Courier lead times are currently much longer than before the pandemic and we want to avoid the risk of exam materials not reaching schools on time.
Question paper security
All unused question papers and answer booklets must be stored securely until at least 24 hours after the end of the exam or Key Time, whichever is later. After this time you can dispose of the unused question papers or you can return them to candidates/centre staff if you want to.
Guidance on running exams
To make it easier to use and understand, we structure our guidance around the phases of the Cambridge Exams Cycle.
