Papers for the Ordinary Certificate and the Graduate Diploma modules are 3 hours long.  Morning papers will generally be from 9:30am to 12:30pm and afternoon papers generally from 2:00pm to 5:00pm.
 
Papers for the modules of the Higher Certificate are 1½ hours long.  There are eight modules, examined over two days.  Each day has a morning session and an afternoon session, and two module papers will be contained in each session.  Morning sessions will generally be from 9:30am to approximately 12:30pm and afternoon sessions generally from 2:00pm to approximately 5:00pm;  the finishing times of the sessions are approximate because examination centres are likely to allow a short break, perhaps 10 to 15 minutes, between the first module and the second in each session.
 
In addition, there may be variations in times of papers and sessions at centres outside the UK because of local circumstances.
 
Detailed starting times for each paper will be advised to candidates when they receive their examination entry certificates.
