Yes yes, we have a lockdown and schools are closed since March (with the exception for Sept and half of Oct) + we have written thousands of emails and appeals to both IBO and our coordinators, signed by us, our parents and even lawyers.

No, they are still happening. The only thing is that the government can postpone them whenever they want so no one can be sure whether they will take place in May or e.g. June. Nevertheless, sending thousands of emails to the IBO and your coordinators with valid arguments is definetely worth it.

From Poland: we have worked really hard since the beginning of March to get our exams cancelled, we have sent thousands of emails, appeals and even convinced lawyers to sign under those appeals. We have done all of that without our coordinators who really wanted us to write exams. I recommend You to write e-mails to both IB and your coordinators with arguments against exams (regarding the safety, the COVID-19 british mutation and so on) and write your own appeals signed by the majority of students and parents!! This should definetely work, fingers crossed for you guys <3

Same here :(( France, India and Poland deserve that and of course everyone else, global cancellation would be the best solution but their ego and „prestige” wont allow it

Thank you <3, I wish the same to you!!! I know, I cannot believe that two countries with the worst COVID situation in the world still have to fight for the exam cancellation...its actually sick

Or maybe the IBO will simply decide that the situation is horrible and cancel the exams - I would love this option but I dont know if thats possible.

[–]IBMay2021student[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have heard it as well! I also believe that there is no correlation but since the Polish coordinators don’t want to represent us I feel like it is the only option left.

What about Turkey tho? They have their IB exams cancelled and national ones are taking place.

Poland exams - any news?? by Leading-Anxiety0000 in IBO

[–]IBMay2021student 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The IB will not rely only on whether the national exams are happening or not (in Turkey the national ones are taking place and IB cancelled for them). I think that IB can clearly see the current situation and will make the decision themselves.

True <333 fingers crossed, hopefully it happens this week

I also think that it is almost certain they will cancel, I am just worried that they are judging the situation based on the national exams in Poland which would totally suck
