Due to the current circumstances which the UAE is facing, I believe the exams should be cancelled due to growing danger and an increase of threats in the region, making it hard to focus on study

It’s ridiculous how the externals have not been canceled yet for middle eastern students. Students like them are quite literally dying around them every day. IB cancel the exams!!!!

These times are very harsh for perusing these exams, if they get canceled it would mean a lot since there is a very big on going conflict and it is not safe.

i think this is a really bad period for exams as students are not in the right mental place due to the ongoing War

We haven’t been to school in weeks and our Math AA HL and Physics syllabus is not nearly done. The stress of our syllabus not being done and the war has taken a toll on our mental wellbeing. It’s difficult being a student in times like this when the ENTIRE region is unstable and also trying to balance studying time. Cancel the exam because we do not have the same circumstances as other students around the world.

As an IB student in the Middle East, it is incredibly difficult to prepare for the May 2026 exams while living in a region affected by ongoing conflict, instability, and uncertainty. These conditions make it nearly impossible for students to study and perform at their best. I strongly urge the IB to recognize these circumstances and provide fair alternatives that prioritize fairness and student wellbeing.

Many students in the West Asia and North Africa have missed their material in school and are far behind compared to students around the world. We deserve a fair chance!

We have already missed so much of the work for example psychology students who are supposed to be in the middle, finish their first practical, some haven’t even started it. It is too late to actually do an official IB exam which counts the most at our predicted grades. Also lets pay attention to the ee and ia meetings and introductions for most subjects which have been postponed.
