UAE Schools Push Pre‑Board Exams Ahead of CBSE Schedule
UAE schools are scheduling internal exams before CBSE releases its 2027 board timetable, urging parents to start preparation early.
By Felo News Desk · Published
UAE schools are holding pre‑board examinations for Class 10 and 12 students ahead of the Central Board of Secondary Education’s (CBSE) 2027 timetable, which is expected to be announced around late September or October 2026. The board exams are slated for February–March 2027. Woodlem Park in Ajman will run two rounds of pre‑boards in November and January, while Credence High School in Dubai will begin its first pre‑board on 10 November and practicals in early January. GEMS Our Own Indian School will start Grade 12 pre‑boards by the end of November and Grade 10 in January. Principals advise that pre‑boards should be used as diagnostic tools rather than final destinations, encouraging students to revise fully before the exams and to focus on exam‑skill refinement after the results.
