The sudden shift in their importance simply cannot be understated. Previously, mock exams served as a rehearsal for the real deal—an opportunity for students like me to gauge our readiness and identify areas for improvement without the pressure of them being decisive. However, with the current scenario, these mock exams have become critical checkpoints, and the outcomes could heavily influence our academic futures.
Given this significant change in stakes, the current timeline of a week’s preparation is utterly inadequate. Studying for these mocks should reflect the gravity they now hold, necessitating a postponement to provide adequate preparation time for all students. A delay would ensure that students can approach these exams with the seriousness and dedication they deserve, leading to more accurate assessments of our capabilities.
Consider the ripple effect on students' mental health and stress levels with just a week's notice to prepare for assessments that could dictate their next academic steps. Academic institutions owe it to their students to provide a fair opportunity to undertake exams that could shape their educational trajectories.
We propose a minimum postponement of these examinations by at least two weeks. This extension would allow educators to better support their students, offer thorough revision sessions and ensure that all students can approach these pivotal exams with due preparedness and confidence.
Let us come together to urge educational institutions to reconsider their stance on these mock exams, prioritize student welfare amidst challenging times, and align testing schedules with the current importance these exams hold. Your signature can help create a positive impact for countless students caught in this stressful period. Please sign this petition to make a difference.

It’s been an incredibly stressful time, impossible to focus with all everything going on, not to mention a lot of us have all our revision materials stuck in school.
Hearing missile alerts mid study session isn't helping. Nor is having to evacuate to the corridor mid classes also helping. Putting us up to this at a time of distress isn't a fair measure of our genuine capabilities.
The situation here in the middle east is very tough and explosions are heard regularly, (side note: they are also heard close to our campus where our igcse exams are supposed to take place)
Our igcse exams are being cancelled and the british council is making us do our mock exams. this is a very good decision... however, our school is making us do the mocks 2 days after the announcement and is making us di multiple exams in the same day consecutively. The next generation school in Al Wakrah, Qatar
IGCSE exams are not confirmed and my school is putting so much pressure on us by counting the mock exams as igcse ones if cancelled and 2 papers in 1 day is impossible to do, we are humans not AI
This is actually so evil of them to do this...
CANCEL THE EXAMS!!! THE STUDENTS ARE STRESSED, TIRED AND AFRAID!

IB has already made an action that it was UNSAFE to continue with the operations of exams being HELD.
