Viewing Scripts
Applications to view Leaving Certificate examination scripts must be made by candidates through the Candidate Self Service Portal between 5 PM on Tuesday 27 August and 8 PM on Wednesday 28 August.
Leaving Certificate Applied viewing applications must be made by email. Candidates will be provided with an LCA Viewing Application Form on the Candidate Self Service Portal which should be emailed to viewlcascript@examinations.ie. The same application timeline applies and all applications must be made before 8 PM on Wednesday 28 August. There are two different processes this year for viewing of scripts depending on how the script was marked.
1. Viewing online through the Candidate Self Service Portal
With the expansion of online marking to the majority of subjects for the 2024 Leaving Certificate, most script viewing will be online through the Candidate Self Service Portal. The online viewing process is delivered through the Candidate Self Service Portal and involves candidates having timebound access to PDFs of the scripts. Online viewing in these subjects will be available from 9 AM on Saturday 31 August to 9 AM on Sunday 1 September.
2. Viewing in-person in schools
Viewing in Schools will take place on Saturday 31 August and candidates will be assigned to one of two viewing sessions as follows;
1. Session 1. 9.30 AM – 12.30 PM
2. Session 2. 2 PM – 5 PM
Appealing
An appeal is a process whereby you ask for your exam to be remarked. You can apply for a viewing of your exam papers (scripts) without carrying out an appeal. However, it is highly recommended that you view your script before you apply for an appeal.
In order to make an appeal application, you should use the online Appeals Application Service on the Candidate Self Service Portal You access this service online using your Examination Number and PIN.
Once you have logged in, you will be presented with details of the subjects of the examinations that you sat. To apply for an appeal, you should tick the ‘Appeal’ box across from the subject(s) you choose to appeal and complete the online appeal application. This application will be the same for all scripts whether marked manually or online.
An Appeal Confirmation form will be emailed to you and you should ensure the details on this are correct as late appeals will not be accepted under any circumstances. Dates of results of appeals are yet to be confirmed.
After the appeals results are issued, candidates are entitled to view their scripts again, including the responses recorded by the appeal examiner. If the candidate is still unhappy with their grade and feels that they should have received a higher one, they can appeal to a panel of Independent Appeal Scrutineers. The candidate can then raise concerns regarding the marking of their paper/s with the panel.
Dates for Appeals are from: 10 AM on Sunday 1 September 2024 to: 5 PM on Monday 2 September 2024.
A valid application will comprise both the application to appeal and the payment of the appeal fee. The fee to appeal a result is €40 per subject for Leaving Certificate and €15.50 per subject for Leaving Certificate applied. The fee is refunded in the case of a successful appeal.
