Plan backwards from your first paper

Fix the dates, count the weeks, and give the earliest exams the earliest revision. In the last stretch the thing that moves a mark is sitting full papers under timed conditions and checking your work against a guide. Browse original practice materials in the VCE subject hubs, or use the free official past-paper indexes. Coverage varies by subject.

Common questions

What are the first and last listed VCE exam dates in 2026?

The first listed VCE exam in the 2026 timetable below is English on Tue 27 October 2026 at 9:00 am, and the last listed entry is Foundation Mathematics on Tue 17 November 2026. Confirm your own dates against the official VCAA timetable before you plan around them.

How many VCE exam sittings are there?

This page lists 32 published 2026 sittings across 29 VCE subjects. Some subjects sit more than one paper, which is why the number of sittings is higher than the number of subjects.

Is this the official VCE timetable?

No. These dates are read from the VCAA timetable and republished here subject by subject, and any uncertain entries are labelled. The VCAA publishes the authoritative version, it can change, and it is the one to plan around — the link is on this page. We are an independent study platform and not affiliated with the VCAA.

How should I use the exam dates to plan my revision?

Work backwards from your first paper rather than forwards from today. Fix the dates, count the weeks, and give the earliest exams the earliest revision. The most useful thing you can do in the last stretch is sit full papers under timed conditions and mark them honestly against a proper guide, rather than re-reading notes.
