One fifth of Leaving Certificate students have yet to register for written examinations or accredited grades, ahead of the 6pm deadline on Tuesday. As of Monday evening, 47,582 Leaving Certificate students (79 per cent) and 2,797 applied Leaving Certificate students (81 per cent) have registered. Minister for Education Norma Foley has urged the remaining students to register for the written exams, accredited grades or both before the deadline, using the candidate self-service portal at gov.ie/LeavingCertificate. To register, students will need their examination number, PPS number, mobile number and email address. This is because teachers are due to enter the formal estimation process for the accredited grades process shortly afterwards.
