[QUOTE="Rebel CNC, post: 6973891, member: 16019"] Peej squeezing leaving cert story to within inch of its life.3 days in a row. All students this year have faced the same challenge and pressures so in that respect a written exam is very fair. The leaving cert is always a pressurised year anyway (and yes Peej, for the rest of the family too :lol!:) but the written exam is scrupulously fair and leaves no room for the old Irish tricks of canvassing, nod and a wink, who do you know or putting pressure on teaching staff to give little Sorcha or Cillian (who may be dumb as toast) a significantly upgraded mark. The issue for this year's students is they'll be competing for 3rd level places with last year's cohort who had significantly upgraded scores because of the hybrid system. There should be a system in place to allow this year's cohort to receive a 10% uplift in points (or whatever the figure is) to equate them with points received by students in last two years when points were significantly higher than for years up to 2019.
