Irish Leaving Certificate
We’ve recently received queries from some providers regarding changes to the Irish Leaving Certificate. In 2017, the Irish Leaving Certificate will be awarded using a new grading scale – information about this and the changes can be found in the Irish Leaving Certificate QIP.
SAT examination
In response to queries received from applicants and advisers, we’d like to remind you of changes to the SAT, which were implemented in March 2016. Students will now receive results for:
- evidence-based reading and writing
- mathematics
- essay (optional)
The numerical grading used in the SAT has also been changed. The QIP for the SAT, outlining these changes, has also been updated.
If you have any queries, please contact Ben Jordan, Senior Policy Executive, at b.jordan@ucas.ac.uk.
