Wait is over with Junior Cert results being issued this morning

Junior Cert results have been issued to schools throughout Co Kildare and will be available this morning, while all results will likewise be available for students to access on the State Examinations Commission’s (SEC) website – here– from 4pm this afternoon.

Nationally provisional stats show that the number of As in the three main subjects (Maths, Irish and English) is up on recent years, but in general trends remain much the same across the board (with slight improvements in most cases).

While the percentage of As given out increased in many subjects, the number of students who received 12 As (the maximum number available) dropped by half to 6 (compared to 12 last year).
