Viewing of Scripts (English Version)

Viewing of Scripts -Information from the SEC:

Applying to View:

Applications to view Leaving Certificate examination scripts must be made by candidates through the Candidate Self Service Portal between 5 PM on Tuesday 29 August and 8 PM on Wednesday 30 August.

There are two different processes this year for viewing of scripts depending on how the script was marked.
a) Viewing online through the Candidate Self Service Portal
b) Viewing in-person in schools

a) Viewing online through the Candidate Self Service Portal
With online marking in the majority of subjects for the 2023 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 which they can print or download. Online viewing in these subjects will be available over the 24-hour period from 9 AM on Saturday 2 September to 9 AM on Sunday 3 September.

Please refer to table of Leaving Certificate subjects and components that were marked online at
Appendix A.

b) Viewing in schools
There is still a need to provide candidates with in-person script viewing in schools for those subjects, or components of subjects, which were manually marked. Even in subjects which were marked online there are some exceptions which require scripts to be returned to schools for viewing. The following material will be returned to schools for in person viewing;
• Examination scripts in subjects which were manually marked.
• Certain components of subjects which were marked online (e.g. the LCVP portfolio).
• Upon receipt of your application to view examination scripts in the Deferred Examination
series, these examination scripts will be returned for viewing to the school in which you
were due to sit the original examination in June and NOT the school in which you later
sat the deferred examination. (These examinations were not marked online).
• Scripts in online marked subjects that were in atypical format such as Brailled, Enlarged
or Modified scripts or scripts in audio format.
• Upon receipt of your application to view Leaving Certificate Applied examination scripts
these examination scripts will be returned for viewing to the school.

Please refer to table (below) of manually marked subjects and components:

Viewing in Schools will take place on Saturday 2 September 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
