If you are taking Cambridge International exams in the June 2026 series, the dates that matter most are not usually the school entry deadlines. For students, the key moments are the exam window, results day, the last date to request an enquiry about results through your school or centre, and any deadline linked to special consideration after illness or other serious disruption.
1) Exam period: 23 April to 9 June 2026
The timetabled exam period for the June 2026 international series runs from 23 April 2026 to 9 June 2026. Your own papers will fall within that window, but the exact dates depend on your administrative zone and subjects, so students should check their own timetable carefully rather than rely on the overall series dates alone.
2) Results dates students need to know
For the June 2026 series, Cambridge International AS & A Level results are released on 11 August 2026, while Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge O Level results are released on 18 August 2026. Cambridge also states that results are available from 06:00 BST (UTC+1) on those dates.
These are the headline dates most students should put in their calendar now, especially if results may affect sixth form, university, college, scholarship, or visa plans.
3) Deadline for enquiries about results: 20 September 2026
If you think a result may need checking, the published deadline for enquiries about results for the June 2026 international series is 20 September 2026. This is the final Cambridge deadline, but students should speak to their school or exam centre much earlier because centres need time to review the request and submit it on the candidate’s behalf. Cambridge’s enquiries guidance makes clear that this service is handled through centres, not directly by students.
In simple terms, results day is not the day to wait and see for too long. If you are concerned about a grade, contact your school or centre as soon as possible after receiving your result.
4) Special consideration: act within seven days
Special consideration is relevant to students who were affected by serious problems such as illness, bereavement, temporary injury, or major disruption during an exam. Cambridge describes it as a post-exam adjustment to make allowance for adverse circumstances in accepted cases.
The key deadline here is that applications should be made within seven days of the last exam of the affected syllabus. Students cannot normally submit this themselves, so you should tell your school or centre immediately if something serious affected your performance in an exam. Waiting too long could make the process harder.
5) Why students should report problems quickly
Even though Cambridge’s systems are mostly managed by schools and exam centres, students still need to act fast when something goes wrong. A delayed report after an exam could affect special consideration, and a late conversation after results day could reduce the time available for an enquiry about results before the September deadline.
