Question
Can I have the marking of my Leaving Certificate exam
papers rechecked?
Answer
Yes, if you are not satisfied with the marks in one or more
of your Leaving Certificate exams, you can appeal them to the State
Examinations Commission (SEC). Before you make the decision to appeal a result,
you can view your exam paper.
The SEC will send your school personalised application
forms for you to view your exam papers and to appeal your results. (If you were
an external candidate, not attending a school, these forms are enclosed with
your examination results.) To view your papers, you must return the completed
form to the school where you sat the examination by 22 August 2017. The
Organising Superintendent will assign you to one of the viewing sessions, which
will take place on Friday 1 September and Saturday 2 September 2017. There is
no charge for viewing your papers.
To appeal your results, complete the application form,
indicating the subjects you wish to appeal. The fee per subject is €40 for the
Leaving Certificate Established and €15.50 for the Leaving Certificate Applied.
Appeal fees must be paid in advance and will be refunded to you if your result
is upgraded. The closing date for the SEC to receive applications to
appeal is 6 September 2017.
Your paper will be re-marked by an appeal examiner, who
will be different from the examiner who originally marked your work. The same
marking scheme is used for re-marking. Your result may be upgraded, left the
same or downgraded as a result of an appeal. There is further information
about the appeal process on the website of the State Examinations Commission,
examinations.ie. If you are not happy with the outcome of your appeal, you may
request a review by the Independent Appeals Scrutineers. Application forms for
an appeal review are provided with your appeal results.
