Scotland exams timetable 2025

Music, media and Urdu first

Those studying music, media (National 5) and Urdu will be first in exams halls, with their tests on Monday April 28.

Among the busier days will be May 6, 7 and 14. These are when English and maths exams take place. They are among the most popular subjects at both National 5 and Higher level.

Those sitting care and engineering science exams will have to wait until the bitter end before they can relax.

The same is true for those doing religious, moral and philosophical studies.

Exams for these subjects are on the final day of the Scotland exams timetable 2025, Friday May 30.

When will results be issued?

After the last exam, young people will have an anxious wait of almost 10 weeks for their results.

Certificates will arrive on Tuesday August 5 by post.

But if young people don’t want to have to wait for the post to arrive, they can sign up to get their results by text and email too.
