Maha Sweetha Shanmugam, 17, said: \u201cThese exams have become such a burden because they had to occur in March and CISCE kept us in the dark for so long. They are very irresponsive to our parents\u2019 emails too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re at a point where we\u2019ve all lost our motivation and are studying aimlessly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so frustrating. We just want the exams to be cancelled because we\u2019ve been studying too long, and they have plenty of internals to obtain our marks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not fair that this batch had to go through hell and back for both university and school life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students were worried about their University applications but were reassured by schools that their preliminary or predicted scores would be used to assess their marks if case the board exams weren\u2019t conducted.<\/p>\n<p>Diya Bansal, 18 doing the ISC curriculum in U.A.E., said: \u201cThe school is doing their best to ensure that no one is at a loss here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely think the postponement has given all of us a break in some sense, but there are of course people who still feel very drained from the whole ordeal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough the students get a shortened summer break, personally, I was glad that they got postponed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow I can take some time to recuperate from the whole intense preparation and fuel my energy for when I have to prepare next.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students were left in the dark by the CISCE about the exams which were meant to be held in May. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":144,"featured_media":35803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11,21],"tags":[12,113],"class_list":["post-35751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-news","tag-education","tag-school"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>U.A.E.
