Question: Candidates from my school are registered to take the CSEC PE & Sport and CSEC
Theatre Arts examinations. Should the marks for the practical component be submitted
through the ORS?
Answer: Only those for Theatre Arts should be sent through the ORS. The PE & Sport practical
marks should be submitted by the Examiner/Assessor to the CXC Local Registrar for onward
transmission to CXC.

Question: Do I have to register for the CXC® Associate Degree?
Answer: Yes. You normally register for the Associate Degree once you are registering for
the seventh CAPE Unit. If a request is made afterwards for the Associate Degree, the cost
would be BDS$150.

Question: Do I have to register for the CSEC Business Certificate or the CAPE Diploma?
Answer: No. These programmes are automatically awarded when the candidate becomes
qualified.

Question: Is it mandatory to complete the School Based Assessment (SBA) / Internal
Assessment (IA) assignments?
Answer: Yes it is. School Based Assessment/Internal Assessment is a mandatory component in
most of the CSEC and all of the CAPE syllabuses. If you are registered to submit SBA/IA and do
not submit this component for the examination, you will be reported “Ungraded – SBA/IA
component not received”. An Alternative Paper to SBA/IA (normally referred to as Paper 3/2 in
the case of CSEC and 3/B in the case of CAPE) is available to candidates registered at private
centres. Candidates who are eligible and who opt to write the Alternative Paper are not
required to complete the SBA/IA requirements.
