CXC preliminary results to be released on August 24

– requests for early results now open

The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has announced that preliminary results for the 2023 examinations will be released on August 24.
On the day of the release, candidates may visit CXC’s Online Student Portal and log on to access their preliminary results. Results for the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) and Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) are highly anticipated in Guyana, as it determines whether the country would have retained its top spot for both disciplines.
However, CXC will be facilitating requests for the early release of results up to August 17, 2023.
Candidates may request Early Results Release for tertiary institution applications. This process allows results to be sent quickly to universities or colleges when preliminary exam results are released.
Early Results Release requests may be submitted online at https://www.cxc.org/request-transcriptorder-form during the Transcript order process.
“During the checkout process, candidates should indicate ‘Early Release’ in the notes section, to allow for expedited processing. Transcripts are not delivered to individuals, only organisations such as educational institutions, evaluation agencies, and prospective employers,” CXC stated in a media release.
This year, there was a leak of the CSEC Mathematics Examination paper in Jamaica which has led to a probe being initiated. In addition, at least the papers for nine subjects were also leaked in the same country. The Council made a decision that tests would continue as scheduled.
While the CXC CEO was unable to identify which specific countries the leak extended to, he explained that with the use of technology and common chat groups that involve students from multiple countries, it is likely that a number of countries may have gained access to the paper prior to the exam.
Last year, two Guyanese emerged as the most outstanding overall performers at CAPE and CSEC. Atishta Seenarine of the Saraswati Vidya Niketan School, who gained 18 Grade Ones, was the Caribbean’s most outstanding CAPE student.
Uotam Heeralall of Anna Regina Multilateral School was the Region’s best-performing student at CSEC, having attained 25 Grade Ones.
In addition, Ramoll Baboolall, who gained 25 Grade Ones and two Grade Twos, and Daniel Dowding, who gained 22 Grade Ones and three Grade Twos, were Guyana’s second and third best-performing students, respectively, at CSEC.
For 2022, a total of 10,368 candidates from Guyana registered for this CSEC examination as opposed to 9808 in 2021. For CAPE, a total of 671 candidates from 12 secondary schools and four private centres sat the exams. In 2021, there were 723 candidates.
