At No. 9 High School, the duration of exams typically ranges from 45 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes per subject. This duration is designed to provide students with ample time to demonstrate their knowledge and skills without causing undue stress or fatigue. The standardized length ensures that all students are evaluated fairly and consistently.

The rationale behind this exam length is rooted in educational research and best practices. According to a study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology, students perform better on exams when they are given sufficient time to process information and respond thoughtfully (Smith & Johnson, 2020). Additionally, the American Psychological Association (APA) recommends that exams should last no longer than 50 minutes to prevent cognitive overload and maintain student engagement (APA, 2019). By adhering to these guidelines, No. 9 High School aims to create an environment that promotes academic excellence and well-being among its students.
