An examination board (or exam board) is an organization that sets examinations, is responsible for marking them, and distributes the results. Some are run by governmental entities; some are run as not-for-profit organizations.

The National Education Examinations Authority (NEEA; Chinese: 教育部教育考试院) under the Ministry of Education is mainly responsible for major education examinations, including overseas examination and gaokao in Mainland China.
There is one state run central system of examination boards in Poland called "Centralna Komisja Egzaminacyjna" ("Central Examination Board") established within the new legislation on education issued by Polish parliament in 1998. [2] The central board has eight regional branches called "Okręgowa Komisja Egzaminacyjna" (OKE) – "Regional Examination Board". All primary and secondary schools and other education institutions in a region are served by the regional OKE. Universities are not part of that system. It is allowed by law to sit an exam in other regional board than the home one, but practically it does not happen.
Each OKE is responsible for the content and administration of the entrance tests to primary schools, Gymnasiums and secondary schools in accordance to the Ministry of Education annual guidelines. Final secondary school examination called Matura (analogous to A Levels) is prepared each year by the Ministry of Education and administered by regional examiners, who are recruited, trained and paid by regional OKE boards. Each regional OKE has an authority to issue an official certificate of an examination.

Traditionally, schools were restricted to one of a large number of regional examination boards, but now they can use any (though few outside Northern Ireland choose to use the Belfast-based CCEA). Furthermore, a number of boards have merged making a much lower number overall.
Primary and secondary school tests are generally administered by the state boards of education – or in the case of private schools, private organizations whose affiliations align with those of the school. Tertiary school entrance qualifications and vocational qualifications are provided by other organizations.

In Ireland, exams are run through one main examination board called the State Examinations Commission (SEC). This exam board provides examinations for secondary school level students, including Junior Certificate/Junior Cycle for students aged 14-16 and Leaving Certificate/Leaving Cert Applied (LCA) examinations for students aged 17-19.
Examinations from the SEC are available in both the Irish and English languages.
The Irish SEC Leaving Certificate is also examined at The International School of the Martyrs (ISM) in Tripoli, Libya. The examination in Libya is available to students in Arabic.
