Exam countdown: days left to the SAT, AP, IB, Qudurat and your own exams

Dates in the countdown

Checked October 2026. Always confirm the exact paper, session and time with the school or test centre.

Edexcel, AQA, Tahsili and CBSE 2027 dates are not in the list. Add them as your own exam date once your school confirms them.

How the count works

The countdown counts whole calendar days from today's date on your device to the exam date, so it changes at midnight where you are. The exam day itself is day zero. Weeks are shown too, because revision plans are easier to build in weeks: 70 days is ten weeks, which is enough for a structured plan of topic review, then timed papers, then targeted fixes.

For an exam that runs across a window, such as Qudurat or the AP fortnight, the countdown uses the first day. Your own sitting may be later in the window.

What to do with the number

1. Over 12 weeks: cover the syllabus once, topic by topic, and note the weak areas.
2. 12 to 6 weeks: start timed past papers, one a week per subject, and mark them properly.
3. 6 to 2 weeks: full mock conditions, then rework every lost mark.
4. Final fortnight: short daily review of the next paper only, and protect sleep.

When lessons help most

The weeks between about twelve and four before an exam are where one-to-one lessons usually earn their place: there is still time to fix a weak topic properly, and enough past papers exist to practise under timing. A tutor turns the countdown into a weekly plan, sets and marks papers, and adjusts the plan each week as the weak areas change. Starting earlier is calmer; starting later still helps if lessons focus on the topics worth the most marks.
