Question: The date of birth on my certificate is incorrect. How can it be corrected?
Answer: The original certificate issued by CXC together with a certified copy of the candidate’s
Birth Certificate and a Certificate Amendment Fee, should be submitted to the CXC Local
Registrar for transmission to CXC.

Question: I am not attending any school or part-time educational institution but want to
register for CSEC and CAPE examinations. May I do so in the Online Registration System on the
Council’s website?
Answer: No. All registration must be done through an approved examination centre. Contact
your CXC Local Registrar who would be able to provide a list of approved examination centres.

Question: Two subjects on my timetable are scheduled to be administered on the same day
during the same session. Can this clash be resolved?
Answer: Where the papers of two subjects offered by the Council clash on a candidate’s
timetable, special arrangements may be made by the CXC Local Registrar, in consultation with
the CXC Registrar, to enable the candidate to write both examinations on the same day. In
order to avoid clashes, candidates are advised to consult the Council’s master timetables, draft
or final, before registering for subjects.

Question: Who is a Resit candidate?
Answer: A Resit Candidate is any candidate who at the time of registering for an examination,
opts to reuse his/her SBA or IA score. Regulations, governing the reuse of the CSEC SBA
stipulate that the candidate must have achieved an SBA score of 50 per cent or more of the
moderated score. On the other hand, candidates registering as resit for CAPE examinations are
permitted to reuse any moderated score obtained.
