Thirty-nine pupils in Cavan and Monaghan to get Leaving Cert results today
The State Examinations Commission (SEC) will today, issue results to 2,202 candidates who opted to sit the Leaving Certificate, Leaving Certificate Applied and Junior Cycle examinations between November 16 and December 11, 2020.
They include 22 pupils from County Cavan and 17 from County Monaghan who sat their Leaving Cert exams.
Their results will be available from 12 noon today through the SEC’s Candidate Self Service Portal accessible at www.examinations.ie and https://www.gov.ie/leavingcertificate/
Candidates will see exactly how they performed in the written examinations and will be able to print a statement of their examination results. Candidates who received calculated grades will also continue to have access to their calculated grades through the same website links so they can compare their grades.
The option to sit the Leaving Certificate examinations was offered to all Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied candidates who had entered for the 2020 Leaving Certificate.
In line with the commitments made, Leaving Certificate candidates receiving results from the later examinations who had previously received calculated grades will be credited with the higher subject grade achieved between the Calculated Grade and the written examination.
The provisional examination results issuing today indicate that 1,705 (39%) grades are higher, 1,220 (28%) are the same and 1,413 (34%) are lower than the calculated grades achieved by these candidates.
Arrangements will be made by the SEC to issue examination certificates to all candidates at the 2020 Leaving Certificate following the conclusion of all stages of the examinations appeal process.
For candidates who received calculated grades and also sat the examinations, the final certificate will be an integrated certificate combining the best results from both processes.
The SEC has provided the Central Applications Office (CAO) with details of the Leaving Certificate examination results for candidates who were not provided with calculated grades. For candidates who received calculated grades and who also sat Leaving Certificate 2020, the CAO has been notified of the higher subject grade achieved between the calculated grade and the written examination.
Some 1,136 candidates received results, which are higher than calculated grades in one or more of their subjects.
