Waiver of Examination Fees for Medical Card Holders
Candidates who hold a full medical card or who are dependent on a parent or guardian who holds a full medical card are not liable for examination fees. Medical cards will be accepted only if valid on the date completed forms must be returned.

When the forms have been stamped by a bank, or completed with medical card details in the case of those covered by the medical card exemption, they should be returned to the school for transmission to the State Examinations Commission.
