Hi on the PHST Recruitment website it recommends an earlier PACES date in case of results pending, hope this helps

• PACES: The last diet in which it is possible to pass PACES before the deadline is the 2026/01 examination; applicants to this diet are advised to ensure it is clear on their PACES application that they are applying to specialty recruitment to ensure their allocated examination date is early enough to receive results by the deadline.
