Know Your Rights August 2019
Appealing
your Leaving Cert results
Question: If I am unhappy
with a result in my Leaving Cert, how can I get the grade reviewed?
Answer:
The Leaving
Cert results will be available on 13 August this year. If you are unhappy about
a result and would like to have it checked, you can appeal your grade to the
State Examinations Commission (SEC).
However,
before you decide to appeal your grade, you can view your examination script to
see how your work was marked. To do this, you must register on the Candidate
Self Service Portal on the SEC website, examinations.ie. You can make an
application to the viewing of scripts service online from 9am, 14 August to
5pm, 16 August. You will need your username and password (you get this when you
register on the portal). Only the scripts from the written examinations can be
viewed - not the results of oral examinations or marks for practical
examinations. If your script was marked on paper, you will be assigned a
session to view it on either 20 August or 21 August. If it was marked online
you can view it online from 5pm on Tuesday 20 August to 5pm on Wednesday 21
August.
If you decide
to go ahead and appeal your result after viewing your script, you should log
into examinations.ie, access the Candidate Self Service Portal and complete the
process online. This service will be available from 5pm, 16 August until 5pm,
22 August. The process is the same for all scripts whether they were marked
manually or online. Your script will then be sent to an appeal examiner for
re-marking. The appeal fee is €40 per subject for the Leaving
Certificate. The appeal fee for the Applied Leaving Certificate is €15.50 per
subject. You will get this fee back if your result is upgraded. You can get
more information from the Candidate Information Booklet – Leaving Certificate
2019, published by the State Examinations Commission.
