Leaving Cert students will face fewer questions this summer

By Dean Egan.

There's a change on the cards for 6th year students this year.

Leaving Certs will face fewer exam questions this summer, as part of changes to the exams due to Covid-19.

The timings of each exam will remain the same, but it's hoped the extra choice will ease pressure, according to the State Examinations Commission.

Students have the choice of sitting the exams in person, getting predictive grades or get a mix of both.
