Even if you opted to receive Calculated Grades, you still have an opportunity to sit the written Leaving Certificate examinations in one or more subjects. The examinations will be held in November 2020.
This page will be updated as further information becomes available.
If you sit the Leaving Certificate examination, your final Leaving Certificate will reflect the best results for you.
For example:
- if you sit the later examinations and you receive a grade lower than the Calculated Grade that you received in the subject, your certificate will display the Calculated Grade, as this is higher
- if you receive a higher grade in the later examination, then this is the grade that will appear on your certificate
However, it is important to note that grades from the later examinations will not be available in time for CAO and UCAS in the 2020/2021 academic year.
