The Caribbean Ex­am­i­na­tions Coun­cil has agreed to a 50 per cent re­duc­tion to the cost of re­view fees for CAPE and CSEC stu­dents. The re­views will now cost US$15,

A me­dia re­lease from the Ed­u­ca­tion Min­istry says CXC has al­so com­mit­ted to re­mark­ing re­viewed scripts, as op­posed to sim­ply re-tal­ly­ing them. Grades will not be ad­just­ed down­ward dur­ing the re­view—they will ei­ther be up­grad­ed or re­main the same.

CXC says it is al­so com­mit­ted to pro­vid­ing a time­ly turn­around for re­views.

Stu­dents who are in the process of mak­ing in­di­vid­ual re­quests for re­view of their CXC ex­am­i­na­tion grades for 2020, based on the dead­line of No­vem­ber 6 are ad­vised that they should con­tin­ue to use the stip­u­lat­ed process for do­ing so.

As of Oc­to­ber 27, the num­ber of re­quests for re­views from T&T stu­dents is 2,352 for CSEC and 3325 for CAPE.

The Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion says it will con­tin­ue to mon­i­tor the progress of the re­view process and will dis­close the pro­ce­dure by which re­im­burse­ment of re­view fees will be done.
