Irish Leaving Certificate – new grading scale for 2017

We would like to remind you that a revised grading scale is being introduced for the Irish Leaving Certificate Higher and Ordinary awards.

Posted Wed 2 August 2017
You can find details of the new grading system in the Irish Leaving Certificate Qualification Information Profile (QIP).
 
We previously transferred results for the Higher and Ordinary levels through the ABL process. For 2017, we are also transferring results for the Foundation Level (for Irish and mathematics), and the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) – a more vocationally-focused version of the Leaving Certificate.

Details of the new exam levels, expected grades, and UCAS Tariff points can be found in the ABL Guide 2017.
