Majority of Leaving Cert students opt for mix of exams and accredited grades

Provisional data from the State Examinations Commission shows 88% of Leaving Certificate students have indicated they wish to sit the exams and receive accredited grades in at least one subject.

The vast majority of students will sit Leaving Certificate exams and receive accredited grades, with almost 90% of all students signing up for a mix of both options.

However, close to 40% of students have chosen not to sit an exam in Irish, instead opting solely to receive an accredited grade instead.
