Counting down to Monday, 26 April 2027
This is the usual date, not a confirmed one. The date moves from year to year, and the SQA publishes the real one. Use this as a rough guide, then put your own dates into the app once you have your timetable. That countdown will be exact.
About Highers and National 5s
Scotland sits its exams earlier than the rest of the UK: the SQA diet usually opens in late April and runs through May. National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher papers are all on the same timetable, so a sixth-year taking a mix can have them interleaved.
