Tomorrow, twelfth grade students in public schools and private schools that implement the Ministry’s curriculum will resume exams for the first semester of the academic year 2022-2023.
Students of the general, advanced and elite tracks will take the physics exam on the fifth of December, while students of the applied track will take the applied sciences exam. On the sixth of December, all students will take the Arabic language exam, followed by the English language exam on Wednesday, the seventh of December. Students of the general, advanced and elite tracks will test mathematics on the eighth of December, which is the closing day for students of the applied track in which they will perform applied mathematics. Students of the general, advanced and elite tracks will finish their exams on the ninth of December in chemistry or biology.
The Emirates Education Foundation stressed that all students should bring their computers to the school during the examination period. School administrations deal with cases of students who attend the exam without a computer, by securing an alternative at maximum speed, and conducting exams smoothly. The Foundation pointed out that the total period for the exam for each subject is two hours, noting that the paragraphs of the questions are not restricted by time, and the student is allowed to return to review before handing over the exam. The student is also allowed to leave the exam hall one hour after the start of the exam.
A number of school principals had confirmed that the restructuring of the tests implemented by the institution had positively affected the psychological aspect of the students and their level of readiness. They pointed out that the institution has predetermined the academic courses for each subject, which students should study in preparation for the exam, among all the units that were explained during the first semester. They pointed out that the institution had also identified, in its circular to school administrations, the pages on which students should focus more than others, noting that the restructuring was not only done for twelfth students, but for the first and second cycles as well.
