Arrangements for Access to Results
Candidate Self Service Portal
All Leaving Certificate candidates will have access to their provisional Leaving Certificate results on the Candidate Self Service Portal from 10 AM on Friday 22 August.. Candidates can view their results and will also be able to print a statement of their provisional results.
A new feature this year is that at Leaving Certificate, candidates will see an asterisk on the portal against any result where the candidate has been marked absent for a component. This does not apply for Leaving Certificate Applied Candidates.
On Results Day, candidates will see an asterisk on the CSSP against a result in a subject with more than one mandatory component if the grade in that subject is not based on marks from each mandatory component. The asterisk indicates that the SEC has recorded that the candidate was
absent for one or more of these components. Candidates have been advised to contact their school if they have any concerns in relation to a result accompanied by an asterisk.
On Tuesday 26 August, when candidates have access to Component marks on the CSSP, they will see more detailed information about their results and will see the indicators provided to schools in Supplementary Reports. Again, candidates have been asked to contact their school if they have any concerns about their results.
After Results Day - Access to Data
From 12pm on Tuesday 26 August candidates will be able to see their component marks and adjusted marks through the CSSP. Candidates will also be provided with a further Candidate Information Guide 3 –Guide to Understanding your Results to guide them through this process. This
will be published on Tuesday 26 August and it will also be distributed to candidates and schools by email.
The purpose of this Candidate Information Guide is to provide the candidate with information about their Leaving Certificate grades in the 2025 examinations and to assist them should they choose to view their scripts. The Guide will: clarify details concerning the marking of the 2025 examinations, outline how grades were generated, including how a post-marking adjustment was made to marks before grading, and explain how marks and grades are displayed on examination scripts and how they will be displayed on the Candidate Portal. There is a specific section providing information on Leaving Certificate Applied.
Where the result is not based on all mandatory components, the candidates will see the reason beside the relevant component. This information is provided to the schools as a supplementary report as part of the results PDF Matrix. Please check that information provided is correct. If any issues arise in relation to information provided, please contact the SEC helpdesk.
Viewing of Scripts
Applications to view Leaving Certificate examination scripts must be made by candidates through the Candidate Self Service Portal between 5 PM on Tuesday 26 August and 8 PM on Wednesday 27 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
2. Viewing in-person in schools
It is important to note that candidates may have to attend school to view some of their scripts and use the portal to access others.
