BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC®) wishes to advise that the
Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination® (CAPE®), Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate®
(CSEC®) and Caribbean Certificate of Secondary Level Competence® (CCLSC®) examinations will be
administered in their original format; that is, for CAPE® and CSEC® Papers 01, 02 and 031/School-
Based Assessments (SBAs) or Paper 032 for private candidates, and for CCSLC®, Papers 01 and
031/School-Based Assessments. CXC® will maintain the strategy of 100% SBA moderation across all
centres, for all subjects in 2022.
Examination dates are as follows:
• May/June CAPE® examinations: 2 May – 10 June 2022
• May/June CSEC®: 2 May – 3 June 2022;
• CCSLC® examinations: 6 – 9 June 2022; and
• CPEA® examinations: 27 – 28 May 2022.
Caribbean Vocational Qualification* (CVQ*) assessment will be conducted between May and July
- Dates will be determined by individual participating territories.
Official timetables are available at www.cxc.org/download-timetables.
CXC® has once again put concessions in place to support students in light of the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic. These include:
• School Based Assessments (SBAs) – The reductions to SBA Requirements made in 2021, as
much as 50 per cent in some subjects, were maintained.
• Option to Defer – The deferral strategy has been extended for use any time prior to the
administration of a subject. Candidates will be able to defer to January or June 2023,
whenever the subject is administered.
As we look ahead to 2023, CXC® continues to work with regional Ministries of Education on its digital
transformation strategy. Plans are currently underway to begin administering all Paper 01
examinations electronically in 2023.
