I would use 3, 4 or 8. With the exception of 7 and 9, the rest are grammatical but not very natural. I would probably say "My exams will be over in ten days".

Thanks for answering but why not "after"?

When we say "grammatical but not very natural" it means "we say it that way because we say it that way" - it's what's idiomatic, it's how native speakers say it. There often is no "why."
