The Junior Cert Results are in! Here's What You Need to Know

Waiting for Junior Cert results can be a rollercoaster of emotions—from nervous anticipation to eager excitement.

If you're among the thousands of students who sat the exams this year, you'll be able to access your results online soon. Here's a quick guide to everything you need to know.

When will the results be released?

The results will be released on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. Schools will receive the results from 9:00 am.

How can I get my results?

There are two ways to get your results:

• At school: The most common way to get your results is by going to your school. Results are usually displayed on a noticeboard or in the school office.
• Online: You can also get your results online at the State Examinations Commission website. You will need your exam number and date of birth to access your results.

What if I'm not happy with my results?

If you're not happy with your results, there are a few things you can do:

• Talk to your teachers: Your teachers can help you understand your results and offer advice on how to improve in the future.
• Apply for a recheck: You can apply to have your exam papers rechecked. This costs a fee, and there is no guarantee that your grade will change.
• Appeal your results: If you believe there was an error in the marking of your exam papers, you can appeal your results. This is a more formal process, and you will need to provide evidence to support your appeal.

What's next after I get my results?

Once you have your results, you can start thinking about your next steps. If you're happy with your results, you can continue to Senior Cycle. If you're not happy with your results, you can consider options such as repeating Junior Cert, attending a further education college, or entering the workforce.

No matter what your results are, remember that they are just one part of your life story. Don't let them define you. With hard work and determination, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
