The Letter below contains information about accessing the Candidate Self Service Portal for students. If you are having a problem with accessing the portal use one of the contact methods in the letter as the school has no control over this site and are not able to help if you are having a problem.
Leaving Certificate candidates will access the portal at www.examinations.ie from Wednesday 17 January at 1pm. A CSSP Before You Start Guide 2024 will be provided which candidates should read before commencing the process. To access the portal, candidates will need the following:
• their examination number (The SEC provided these to schools before Christmas)
• Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN will be the first 4 digits of the candidate’s Personal Public Services Number (PPS number). In the event that a candidate does not have a PPS number or a PPS was not recorded a unique PIN will be created and issued to the school prior to the portal opening.
• an email address and mobile phone number to which the candidate will have regular access to over the coming months.
There are no examination fees for 2024 exams
If you are studying another subject outside of school you can register in the portal to have that subject examined as part of the leaving cert exams. There is a section of the portal to allow you to add extra subjects and the levels you wish to take them at. If your extra subject has a project or other secondary assessment component this needs to be communicated to the exam secretary at exam.sec@adamstowncc.ie as there may be paperwork required to allow it to be assessed correctly.
