minutes.
STEP ONE (1) Locate your candidate #.
Your candidate # is on your CXC
Timetable and is listed on all your exam
receipts.
STEP TWO (2)
Verify that you qualify for sixth form.
Look carefully at the subject choices offered in sixth form.
Look carefully at the subject combinations that are not possible.

Submit button
Important Points
Select subjects in order of
importance: This is very important.
Students must select their subjects placing
the most important subject first and so on.
Note: Even though you are asked to choose
four subjects, the fourth one is only given if the
system cannot give the student one of the first
three. It is therefore important that students
do not have their most important subject listed
as subject 4.
Important Points Ideal subject choices: Ensure that this
section is completed. The selectors will use this area to get a sense of what the student really wants to do in the event that we are unable to offer a specific subject.
Note: This allows us to add the human element to the process. Sometimes students were not given a subject choice because something went wrong in the exam. It allows a teacher to see what was requested and then what the student was able to apply for. Adjustments have been made in the past based on this information.
Important Points
Career: Do not underestimate how
important this information is. It helps us to
give students advice about subject requests.
Note: Very often the subjects that some
students choose will not allow them to complete
their chosen career field. When we know what
the career choice is we are able to advise
accordingly.
Important Points
Email: Ensure that you enter the correct
email address into the system. The system
sends a confirmation email. If the incorrect
email address is given then the
confirmation email will not be received.
Note: Check your bulk or spam mail if the
email is not seen in your inbox. Verify that the
confirmation email lists correctly the subjects
you applied for as your ideal subjects.
Important Points
Consider me for 4 subjects: This check
box located below the picture is only
shown if the student has a minimum of 8
ones.
Note: A student who asks to do four subjects
is only given the fourth after all other students
have been assigned their third subject.
Therefore, ensure that your subjects are listed
in order of priority as you may not receive the
fourth subject even with exceptional results.
Important Points
Students with particularly
exceptional results may opt to do
more than four CAPE subjects. This
request should be made to the Dean
of Studies after acceptance into Sixth
Form.
STEP FIVE (5)
Click the submit button.
Check your email for confirmation
message. Confirmation message will show
subjects applied for and ideal subject
choices. Ensure that this is correct.
PROBLEM?
