Parents who wish to have the intermediate certificate examination results of their children rechecked should approach the school authorities in the first instance.
In accordance with an agreement between the school associations and my Department an application for the reassessment of an examination result of a school candidate is accepted where the result is substantially at variance with what the school expected from the candidate.
A fee of £5 per candidate per subject is charged in all cases. This is returned, if, on reassessment, the candidate's work is deemed to merit the award of a higher grade.
