PPE Exam timetable 2025

(PPEs), also known as mock exams, are designed to simulate the experience of the actual A-level exams in Year 13, and they help students to assess their progress and identify areas for improvement. 
Mock exam results also provide essential predicted grades, which students will require when submitting their application to a university, college, or applying for an apprenticeship.

Please see below the timetable for the PPE assessments. It is essential that students attend all of their exams.
