Students will be permitted to enter the examination centres until 9:35 am, which includes a five-minute grace period. However, the board recommends that candidates arrive at the venue by 8:30 am, taking into account potential weather and traffic conditions.
The First Language (Composite Course) exams will take place from 9:30 am to 12:50 pm. The Science exam is divided into two parts: Part I (Physical Science) will be held from 9:30 am to 11 am, while Part II (Biological Science) will be conducted on a different day. Before submitting their answer booklets, students must properly attach Part B, graphs, and maps, securing them with a thread.
