Dear Junior Cyucle and Leaving Certifcta Candidates,
In order to make candidates aware of the key requirements to ensure that their examination scripts are processed accurately, we would greatly appreciate if you would bring the Candidate Information Video to the attention of your Leaving Certificate and Junior Cycle candidates again in advance of the 2025 examinations, as follows:
- by playing the video in the classroom;
- by sharing it on your social media platforms;
- by including it in email communications or in any way that you regularly contact your Leaving Certificate and Junior Cycle candidates.
The video can be found under the heading “Information for Candidates” at
https://www.examinations.ie/?l=en&mc=ex&sc=e25
Posters and convenient journal-sized stickers containing this information were provided to schools earlier in the year.
In previous years, during the Leaving Certificate and Junior Cycle examinations, we have received correspondence from candidates who have made an error regarding the completion of their examination number or date of birth on their answerbook, or completed their examination using an incorrect pen.
In order to reduce unnecessary stress to candidates, please encourage all Leaving Certificate and Junior Cycle candidates to familiarise themselves with the Candidate Information Video prior to the commencement of the examinations.
Kind regards,
Ger Murphy
