Most students will have the choice of accepting a calculated grade or the mark they get in the written exam.
Students have been encouraged to use this evening to prepare themselves physically and mentally.
Leaving cert starts on Wednesday & traditional “exam weather” has arrived. Thinking of all those studying this weekend. It’s been a really tough year for you. We’re all rooting for you & however you do, please know there will be so many paths & options to get to where you want to

Meanwhile, the Education Minister says she’s not concerned about grade inflation with this year’s Leaving Cert.
Students have the option of sitting exams, accepting calculated grades or a combination of both.
But Norma Foley says that everyone involved in the grading process is a professional and there are strong guidelines in place to ensure the process is done fairly.
