When Does the ZIMSEC Exam Timetable Come Out?

ZIMSEC runs two main sittings each year, June and November, with a timetable published ahead of each one. The exact release date shifts from sitting to sitting, so the only reliable source is checking closer to the time.

Where to find the confirmed dates

Your school is usually the fastest way to find out once a timetable is confirmed. ZIMSEC also publishes the official O Level, A Level, and Grade 7 timetables for both sittings directly on its site as they're confirmed.

Don't wait for the timetable to start revising

The exact date and time of your papers doesn't change what you need to know. Starting your revision plan as soon as the sitting is announced, rather than waiting for the full timetable, gives you more usable time.

Exam rules, dates, and fees change between sittings. Always confirm the latest information on the official ZIMSEC website before you rely on it.
