Re: Dates of Certificate Examinations 2019
Timetables and Schedules for the Leaving Certificate, the Leaving Certificate Applied and the Junior Cycle written and examinations in June 2019 for display in school including deadline dates for non-written examinations have been issued to all schools. (See attached Circular S15/19)
Candidates can download their own personal copies from the Examination Information section of the State Examination Commission’s website at www.examinations.ie.
A. Written timetable changes include:
Extension of the 2019 Leaving Certificate written examination timetable.
Creating the new timetable to minimise clashes has led to changes throughout the timetable.
There are no changes to the timetable for the Leaving Certificate Applied.
The new Junior Cycle specifications for Science and Business Studies will be examined for the first time in 2019.
This change has facilitated a shortening of the Junior Cycle examining period by one half-day.
