Class hub · 2026–27
31 exams open to Class 8 this season — 14 with organiser-confirmed dates. Honest guidance first, list second.
By Classes 6–8, patterns matter: a child who consistently enjoys maths or science competitions here is telling you something. This is also when the serious pathways open — NSEJS (from Class 8) and IOQM (from Class 8) are the genuine articles.
