Applied maths adds up for students as Leaving Cert exams finish

Leaving Certificate 2018 ended much as it started, with warm weather and a fairly good reception for the day’s papers.

Applied maths was one of five subjects in which exams were taken at official State Examinations Commission (SEC) exam centres in schools and colleges.

Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) subject spokesman Christy Maginn praised those who set the higher level exam, which the vast majority of more than 2,100 entered candidates will have taken.
