They’re all varying levels of fails, yes? Failed badly, failed well, don’t even bother reapplying, don’t call us we’ll call you, right?
Congrats. Now for the LC. By those grades – it’ll be a doddle.
Wtf is “Common” level?
What do those grades mean? Do ye not have the alphabet system any more?
Theres a key at the bottom of the paper for the grades for everyone asking…

But congrats all the same!
Congrats! I did the JC 13 years ago. Haven’t realised the grades have changed.
Were the subjects outside of the main 3 always common level? I swore there were higher or ordinary for all subjects bar CSPE.
Well I hope you’re happy now. Congratulations
It’s mad to think how this one exam will decide every tiny detail of their lives from here on out. The impact of those grades will be felt by their great great grandchildren.
Or at least that’s how important they made it out to be when I did it.
+90% In 5 subjects – fair play.
Any idea what you want to do after school ?

Half me is super jealous and half of me wants to congratulate you! Fair play and congrats! I have no idea how you did higher level Irish because that one was particularly nasty.
Congratulations. I remember I got 8 As and a B at higher level in my junior then it all went down hill for the leaving 😂 so make sure you keep at it!
Comhghairdeas a chara!
When I was younger it was all the ancient people calling it the inter cert …..now I’m the auld fella saying “when I did the junior it was A’s and B’s, none of this merit shite”
The grades are oddly unspecific these days
Do they not do the junior cert exams in June anymore. when did this happen?
One of the 2.5% that got a distinction in History fair play to you
Gwan big up urself! Always keep your hands up and never stop swinging til you hear the bell 💥
