Frequently Asked Questions - Examination Results

All students will receive an email with their exam marks on the Results Published date which you can find on the Events and Deadlines page of the LPAB website here.

You should also be able to view your results in your STEMS profile.

Once released there is no further avenue for reviewing exam marks.

Candidates with overall marks between 40% and 49% automatically have their exam scripts and assignments reviewed by a Revising Examiner. This review occurs before results are published, making all results final. The second academic opinion ensures that marks are appropriate, especially when they are close to a Pass grade.

For a breakdown of your marks for one or all of your subjects, please submit your request through the  'Miscellaneous' in your STEMS portal. Select 'Other Queries' in the drop-down menu. You will receive a response from the LPAB with a breakdown of your exam marks per exam question.
