Leaving Certificate and Junior Certificate exams – update

On 10 April 2020, it was announced that public health measures in Ireland will be extended for a further 3 weeks. The measures will now stay in place until Tuesday, May 5 2020.

It was also announced that the Leaving Certificate written examinations will be postponed until late July or early August – subject to public health advice. The Junior Certificate exams in June will be replaced with school-based exams and assessments early in the new school year. The decisions were taken on foot of updated advice from the National Public Health Emergency Team.

In addition:

  • All schools are closed until further notice.
  • Practical examinations for Leaving Certificate students which were due to have been held in May are deferred. They will be rescheduled for late July/early August.
  • The new Leaving Certificate exam timetable will be confirmed in early June.

The admissions process for higher education, managed by the Central Applications Office (CAO), will operate as closely as possible to the usual timeframe for offers and the entry date for first year students will be delayed.

The State examinations oral and practical performance tests which were scheduled to take place from Monday, 23 March, to Friday, 3 April 2020, were cancelled. All students due to take these tests will be awarded full marks for this portion of the exam.
