exam period

Academic evaluation window

Exam period is the stretch of time—usually one to two weeks—at the end of an academic term when final examinations are held.

Classes typically pause during exam period, and students focus on studying and taking tests: I can't make any plans during exam period.

The term is more common in higher education than in secondary schools.
