When do SEAG results come out?
The short answer
SEAG plans to release this year's results on Saturday 23 January 2027. They come as a Statement of Outcomes, which you view and download online by logging in to the SEAG account you registered with.
The dates, from SEAG
- Paper 1: Saturday 14 November 2026
- Paper 2: Saturday 21 November 2026
- Results online: Saturday 23 January 2027
- Re-mark requests open: Monday 25 January 2027
- Re-mark requests close: Wednesday 3 February 2027. SEAG doesn't accept late requests.
What's on the Statement
Two scores, one for English (or Irish) and one for Maths, and the total. The Statement also gives a band from 1 to 6. What a band means, and whether Band 1 is good.
What happens next
You apply on the Education Authority's online application, using your own login, and upload the Statement yourself.
Results come out on a Saturday in late January. The transfer application opens the following week and closes in early March (12 noon, Wednesday 3 March 2027). Each school's admissions criteria, and a short statement of where its line fell last year, are on the Education Authority website and usually on the school's own. Places are announced in May, with appeals later that month.
Should I ask for a re-mark?
Only if the total sits one or two points under a line that matters to you. SEAG says most re-marks change nothing: around 99 in 100, from GL Assessment's past experience. The 44 multiple-choice answers on each paper are read by machine, and the 12 written answers are marked by two people, with a third if they disagree.
