Students advised to view scripts before appealing exam results

ANY student who is unhappy with their result in one or more subjects can appeal the grade to the State Examinations Commission (SEC).

Students are advised, however, to first avail of the opportunity to view their exam script at the school later this month. In order to do so, a form provided by the SEC with all results must be filled and returned to the school by next Tuesday, August 18.

Viewing sessions will then be organised at schools on either Friday, August 28 or Saturday, August 29, at which students can be accompanied by a teacher or any other individual. This is a chance to identify if there are any obvious mistakes in the calculation of the grade and whether it is worthwhile appealing the mark.
