Frequently asked questions
Are these dates final?
They are the dates printed in the latest official notice or official update for each exam. Commissions sometimes change dates; when they publish a change, the exam's guide is updated.
Why does an exam show last year's cycle?
Where the new notice is not out yet, the table shows the latest cycle and says so, so you know roughly when to expect it.
