Thousands of Caribbean secondary school candidates will soon get their first look at their 2026 May–June exam performance, as Jamaica’s Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training and National Excellence has announced a clear release timeline and critical access guidance for preliminary Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) results.
In an official advisory published Monday, the ministry confirmed that all preliminary scores will go live to candidates via the internet at 12:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time on Tuesday, August 18. To avoid confusion and access issues, the ministry is urging both registered candidates and their families to make advance preparations to log into the results system ahead of the release date.
A key warning the ministry has emphasized is that candidates must only use official channels to retrieve their individual results, and should steer clear of unvetted third-party platforms or unofficial social media sources that may share incorrect or delayed result information. For candidates seeking step-by-step guidance on accessing their scores, the ministry has directed all inquiries to a dedicated instructional page: bit.ly/mycxc-results.
In a specific clarification that addresses common past access errors, the ministry added that candidates should not attempt to log into the main CXC organizational website, cxc.org, to pull up their personal results, as the results will only be hosted on the separate designated results platform.
