Mary welcomes the update on Leaving Certificate exam papers recently published with details of changes to the papers.
These changes are intended to relieve the pressure on students given the disruption they have faced with school closures and missed class time. While the duration of each exam remains unchanged, there will be a greater choice of questions and a reduction in the number of questions to be answered. These adjustments apply to the written examinations only and there is no change to oral, aural, coursework or performance tests.
