Abstract
This article briefly considers some strengths and weaknesses of the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) examinations in Integrated Science. It notes that the new subject could have benefited initially from "heavy" marketing and that the slow flow of information from panel and examiners via CXC to science teachers had not been helpful.
