Question
Is it permissible to check matriculation exams on Tisha B'Av?
Answer
Until midday, it is forbidden to engage in any work.
From midday onwards, it is permissible to engage only in work that is not 'fixed', meaning it does not require more than half an hour.
I assume that checking exams takes longer than this duration and requires 'fixity', therefore it is forbidden on Tisha B'Av.
