Request for Cancellation or Alternative Assessment for IB May 2026 Exams in the Middle East

I agree fully as an IBDP student sitting exams in May, I dont know whether i should wait for my house to get bombed or prepare for exams.

yes

I am not being able to study with everything going on in the region.

I am scared of my life

I feel unsafe please cancel I am stuck and can’t come back to UAE.

This is pointless in a time like this. We should be caring for our lives and our family's lifes. Not these exams

After having school shutdown along with an extended spring break, I'm unable to meet a majority of my teachers to finish my syllabus for both my HL's and SL's. These delays may have a huge impact on my final grades.

Due to the ongoing conflict and instability in our region, many IB students are facing extreme stress, safety concerns, and serious disruptions to their education. Preparing for high-stakes exams under these conditions is unfair and does not reflect our true academic abilities. We kindly ask the IB to consider cancelling the exams or providing an alternative assessment method for affected students to ensure fairness, safety, and equal opportunity for all.

Hello all, I will not be able to take the exams at all. I am not sure how current events had lead to this, but I will not be there. I have been trying to find a way out of my room for over 7 days (without rest). There is a very big bug between me and the door and when I move, it moves, and when it flies its wings make this awful whirring noise like some vassal of horror. We are locked in a stalemate and I am at every disadvantage, and I wholeheartedly believe the bug is aware of this. Respectfully, I am in tears.

Cancel that shi gng

wagwan IBO!!!! I beg you in the name of EVERYTHING cancel these exams. I haven’t looked at a past paper in weeks due to my current psychological state. Have mercy we’re in WAR.

Yes

I believe it would be a lot fairer if predicted grades and mocks were valued in place for the middle east especially places such as Bahrain and UAE

These easy TZ crybaby polisued spoiled USA kids dont deserve anything only cancel for GCC ameen

during times of crisis pls dont keep exams i want to be safe with friends and family

Stop the exams

For the safety and wellbeing of us students in the middle east the external exams should be cancelled or alternative assessment methods provided. It is unfair to expect them to sit external exams under conditions that many students are unable to focus on their studies.

Please cancel I’m too scared stop theos

Cancelation for these exams are very important due to the current situation in the Middle East

Iam very scared that something could potentially happen after Ramadan and that these ib exams will not help not help us with stress. You can take our predicted and just use that instead of the ib exams due to current situations within the Middle East.
