Exam Date Countdown
Pick your exam. If the date is official, the live countdown starts; if it isn't announced yet, you'll see the expected month — and can count down to a date of your own.

A countdown only runs for a date the conducting body has published. Past sittings show what happened; unannounced ones show "expected <month>, not yet announced".
Always confirm the date and your testing centre with the agency before exam day — weather and venue changes do happen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the dates come from?
From the conducting bodies: PRC's 2026 schedule, CSC's 2027 exam calendar, NAPOLCOM's advisories and each school's admissions pages. The live countdown only runs for a date the agency has officially announced.
Why is there no countdown for some exams?
Because no official date exists yet. PRC hasn't published its 2027 schedule, and several entrance tests haven't announced their next sitting, so those exams show the expected month instead. You can still count down to a date you pick.
Does it use Philippine time?
Yes — the countdown runs to midnight Manila time on the first exam day, wherever you are.
What should I do in the final 30 days?
Stop adding new material. Focus on recall — flashcards daily, a timed practice test each week, and going over your wrong answers. In the last week, ease off and sleep.
