JUST one more night of study awaits over 3,000 students in Mayo as they prepare to sit their Leaving and Junior Cert exams which take place tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.
The ‘traditional’ Leaving Cert heatwave may not have appeared this year but that will not prevent students from making their way to numerous exam centres around the county. As per usual the Leaving Cert starts with the English Paper One exam for all Leaving Cert students. In Mayo, a total of 1,554 students have registered to sit the Leaving Cert - 779 of which are female and 775 are male.
The Leaving Cert Applied exam also gets underway tomorrow with 77 students in Mayo registered to sit the exam which starts with English and Communication.
The English Paper One exam will be followed in the afternoon by Home Economics, Scientific and Social and English Paper Two exam will take place on Thursday afternoon.
The dreaded Maths Paper One exam for both Honours and Ordinary students takes place on Friday afternoon with Paper Two on Monday morning. This year a record number of students are expected to take the Honours Maths paper.
The Leaving Cert runs until Friday, June 19 with Technology the last exam but the majority of students will have completed their exams before then. The Non-Curricular Languages exam such as Polish and other European languages, which have become increasingly popular, will take place on Wednesday, June 17.
A total of 1,765 students are registered to sit the Junior Cert in Mayo and the first exam will also be English which will start tomorrow at 9.30am. Higher level students will sit Paper Two in the afternoon and Irish will be on all day Thursday and the Maths paper will start on Friday afternoon. Of the 1,765 students, 892 will be female and 873 will be male.
The Junior Cert continues until Thursday, June 18 with Italian and Ancient Greek the final two exams.
The Mayo News wishes all the students sitting exams the best of luck.
