The exam

What is Leaving Certificate?

Leaving Certificate is the Leaving Certificate Examination, a school leaving exam (Ireland). Set and marked by the State Examinations Commission, with most subjects offered at Higher and Ordinary level and some at Foundation level. Assessment is mainly through written papers at the end of the final year, with oral and aural components in languages and practical or project work in some subjects, which is expanding under current reforms. Results are converted to points that determine entry to third-level courses. Students typically sit a broad set of subjects.

Who takes it: Students finishing secondary school in Ireland, whose results convert to points for college admission through the Central Applications Office.

How to prepare

Studying for Leaving Certificate, step by step

  1. 01

    Prioritise

    Points come from a fixed number of top subjects, so spread effort across them rather than chasing perfection in one favourite.

  2. 02

    Practise

    Marking schemes are published; learn how marks are allotted for each question type, especially in English and History essays.

  3. 03

    Avoid the traps

    Project and oral components are completed before the written papers, so timetable them early to avoid clashing with revision.

  4. 04

    Ask, then watch

    Type or say a topic in your own words; the tutor plans a storyboard, one picture per idea, and explains it step by step.

  5. 05

    Interrupt and check

    Say "wait, why?" mid-explanation and it answers on the picture; a checkpoint question ends every lesson.

  6. 06

    Your papers

    Upload past papers and notes so the practice follows the exam, and use Test Lab for graded tests.
