These are the set dates for the paper-based exam. Not every centre runs every date, so confirm the date with your centre before you book.
The computer-based exam has no national list: Cambridge says digital exams are available throughout the year through local exam centres. Ask a centre for its sessions.
Speaking is usually on another day from the written papers, set by the centre. Entries close some weeks before each date; the centre gives its own deadline and fee.
