Top local performer of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Exams Dennis L. Guye of the St Mary’s Academy has advised students to begin preparations for the exams well before their due date in order to attain exceptional scores.
Guye, who spoke to Dominica News Online, attributed his success to advance preparation for the exams.
The 17 year-old Castle Comfort resident scored nine ones and a two in the assessment. Among the subjects he studied were Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Principles of Business, Principles of Accounts, Geography, Literature and French.
“I started preparing for CXC since around Easter. So I didn’t have to study as hard immediately before the exams…” he said.
“Prepare for the exams long before you know you have it. Don’t wait until you have a test today for you to go and rush to study, that wouldn’t work. If you have any friend who does well try and get some help from them,” he recommended.
Guye told DNO that his dream is to become a cardiologist.
Two other SMA students –Denis F. Laurent and Liam K.P. Rolle -both having obtained nine grade 1s, closely followed Guye.
Denzel E. Coipel of the Dominica Grammar School came in 4th with eight grade 1s, one grade 2 and one grade 3. Yende Grell of the Convent High School got eight 1’s and one 2 while Karyntia Joseph of the same school had the identical scores.

Congratulations to all of you. Especially we see that the young men can excel. Makes me remember the good old days when the boys were great. they excelled at the Dominia Grammar School and also at SMA.

Congratulations to all the students! hard work & discipline yields results. I am particularly proud this year to see the boys take the lead, too often we bash our boys and the girls have been in the forefront it is indeed refreshing to be reminded that OUR boys & girls are simply great achievers and the score is all that differentiates them. The boys haven’t been gone anywhere.
Congratulations to the teachers, parents and all those who made these results and the results across the board a success.

Hats off to Dennis and family, especially his mum – this lady is like WOW! Her students in grade 5 at

Way to go SMA! congratulations Denzel, Dennis, Liam and all the other SMA students who were successful at the exams. Best Wishes for a successful future. Whatever, your chosen paths, I know that once you are steadfast you will realize success. Congratulations to the SMA Team (teachers and admin), parents, and anyone else who ensured that our students realized their potential. Congratulations to all the other students around the island who performed well on the exam.
Congratulations!!! to all these Students. All Dominicans are proud of you.
Stay focus,maintain a positive attitude whilst persevering,and keep up the good works.

Keep up the great work, son. Hard work, the right attitude, courage, faith in yourself and the unwavering support of your parents, family and teachers will keep you on top of your game.
God bless you.
@charmer: I meant dennis – my bad
Well done Denzel, Syl and Dan. I’m so proud. Congrats to the other top performers as well
Go Denzel!!!! we are proud of you!!
And notice something …. this time its the guys who are on top
Just goes to show that our boys CAN excel!!
Congrats fellas
Congratulations Denzil! You have made Dominica proud. Congratulations also to your parents, who supported you throughout and your teachers who prepared you for this great accomplishment. God bless you, your parents and God bless St Mary’s Academy and its teachers
THATS the type of stories worth commenting on therefore congratulations are in order to all the students and the furture of our lovely Island. Agreed with that person who suggest that those kids be used in any way possible to inspire others like them that are too weak to carry on. BE it on the radio in print or any other medium. Sadly we may not see lots of comments cause its not politics, BETH, or ROW ROW. come on typical Dominicans give your fullest support and best wishes to those dedicated young ones. That in my poinion is taking us to the next level. I wil be watching the progress of those young men and women.
CONGRATES FROM VIRGIN LANE PPLE
It shows that hard work pays. To the other students who did not performed as they wanted, just try next time and prepare for these exams. However, it should be done at your cost.
God bless the next generation and indeed Dominica future is bright. Special thanks should be given to the parents and guardians, teachers, school administrators and the students for making Dominica proud.
Plenty congratulations tot he boys. We can and we will
congratulations jonell .

Very well done…..KEEP ON STUDING….I wish you could be called in by some schools to talk to the young boys/men about how you managed to do it!!!!!
Congratulations!!!! I am immensely impressed. Determination + application + perseverance = Success. Maintain this positive mental attitude, and the sky is your limit!!!
You have made yourself proud!
You have made your Family proud!
You have made your School proud!
You have made Dominica proud!
Well Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
S.M.A SMARTEST MEN ALIVE. CONGRATS YOUNG MAN.
Good Job Denzel….. Keep it up…
I must say congratulations to all the students who sat the exam. You are all to be commended for your efforts.
To the students who excelled, we are all proud of you and you should be proud of yourself too. Keep up the good work.
@Patat: hey Patat, can you put a few exclamation marks at the end of your name? it would sound better.
Also, I noticed that the comments are very clean, and all of them are all thumbs up. What a disciplined attitude to maintain! And it is great that we leaving a good example for our boys and girls.
It is possible that we can continue with that attitude to everyone?
One thing that we are certain of is that not all of our boys are heading into the conducts and attitude of young men, such as those wearing sloppy hair, baggy pants or skirts, silver chains around their necks, and all the other stuff, just to go out and hold guns at other people’s head to take a few thousand dollars from them.
Way to go boys. And remember that you are a model to those who are behind you. Those of you who are behind be sure to take the advise of your brother, Dennis Guye.
He is right to the extreme. Do not just depend on the few hours that you spend with your teacher. You need to study on your own, and you need to do that long in advance of your exam date. Otherwise, you do not get the evaluating marks that will qualify you for the credits which you are searching for. Again, I say, boys and girls of Dominica, follow in the paths of Dennis Guye and his two friends.
I am delighted that boys topped the exams. Perhaps, all is not lost. I am elated that SMA is back as the top school. It has been a lot time coming.
SMA ROCKS, I WENT TO CONVENT, TAUGHT AT SMA, AND GOSH, SMA STAFF IS DOING A GREAT JOBS WITH THESE KIDS.. PARENTS ALSO PLAYING THE ROLE.. KIDS PUTTING IN THE FINISHING TOUCH, THAT’S WHAT IS CALLED ESSENTIAL EDUCATION
God forbid that I may need a cardiologist but if YOu keep up this way I may have no issues visiting your office bro…Great work to you “ORA ET LABORA”
I must extend my congratulations to Denzel coipel and Kathlyn Paul and all the other Students who excel at the Dominica Grammar School. YOu all have made us proud. To the other school and their students who did well congratulations and keep up the good job.
Keep working hard students and great work teachers!
Congrats Denzel! We are all proud of you. The sky is the limit.
congrats to you
congratulations Dennis job well done! Congratulations also to your mom and dad Mrs.Sylvia and Mr.Darnley Guye. Though I am not surprised because Mrs.Guye is a very good teacher i pass under her hands in St.Martin School. D Guye dont be jealous i give u your plus too. I expect the same results too next year. To everyone who had some part to play in the great achievements of this young man congrats to a job well done
CONGRATS TO ALL THE STUDENTS MAKE GOOD USE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU ARE GIVIEN NOW IT WILL DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF LIFE YOU ENJOY IN THE FUTURE.
Congrats to all the top achievers at the 2010 CSEC exams. You have all made us proud. Keep striving to achieve your dreams and reaching for the stars. To the young men–stay on track and consider yourselves role models for other young men.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL YOU YOUNG MAN AND ALL THE STUDIENTS WHO DID WELL ON THE CXC. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW BEGINNING. BEST OF LUCK IN THE FUTURE…
Congrats Mr. Guye, all the best in the future!!!
Very Good that’s what he want to be. A doctor who studies the heart and deals with the diseases that affect it. Big up to you and may God bless you always..
Congrats to all the students. Good to see the young men on top. Not to say that the ladies do not deserve it. I still believe we have the brightest men and women in the Caribbean.
Anyway keep up the good workit is only the begining.
Bon travail mes amis. This is the type of news that warms my heart. Congrats to all the students. Our future looks grand.
Congratulations are in order for the young men from the SMA and DGS who have given hope to all young male students around Dominica. For more than ten years the cry from the Education authorities was that Dominican boys were not realizing their full potential.
The results this year must be a turning point in Dominica. A young boy was the 2010 top performer at the Common entrance exams and now at the High School CXC exams more young men are proving themselves and becoming examples for others to follow!!!
I am sure that parents of High School boys will be encouraged to take greater effort at the PTA and take greater pride and effort at motivating their sons and not just their girls.
To all the persons who were behind the scenes supporting these young men I say congratulations – parents , teachers, religious, library, study groups, the Saturday classes, the extra classes, and the society in general rallying for boys to reach for the stars .
I love this kid. I would encourage the Ministry of Education to take this kid and have him do an island tour and speak to kids around the country. Give him a Scholarship and consider him an Honorary Education Ambassador.
Secondly, the Min. Of Edu should embark on an Honor Student Program, where we can fast track certain students in Sciences and Maths….we really do need this now
Min of Education…Technology is our future…we need to start preparing the young minds now…Take a page from Asia.
This is the Third Side
These young students have a bright future, if they stay on course, away from drugs and those that do it, away from alcohol and them that do it, and away from illicit habits and them that do it, we will find that the path to a bright future in entrenched in the small powerful decisions that are made on a daily basis. Cudos to you guys!!!!!!!!!! (:=
congrats young man. All the best in the future.
Congfrats to the top three students, and I want to send a special congratulatory message to my boy Denzo….you have made us all proud, I know you have what it takes to reach the top and what we have discussed in the past. Hold tight and as a reminder to your graduation speech ” the sky is the limit.” So continue working hard and we all are behind you to assist you in whatever we can.
Doc. Denzo de Z…
