Leaving Cert Results: Almost 800 students fail honours maths in hunt for points
They are among nearly 58,000 students getting Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied results this morning, with 46,676 of them hoping for college offers from the Central Applications Office on Monday.
While the number taking the honours maths papers reached another record high — just over 27% — the proportion who did not pass is 5.2% — up from 4.5% a year ago and just 2.3% in 2012, when 25 extra CAO points were first made available for passing.
