If you are unhappy with the grade you received in one or more of your Leaving Cert subjects, it may be worth considering whether appealing a grade is an option for you.

There are a few important factors to keep in mind about the process, and it's not a decision to be made lightly. Remember, just as a result can be brought up following the appeals process, it can also be downgraded, although the chance of this is smaller.
