As the 2026 State Examinations approach, we encourage all Junior Cycle, Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied students, along with their parents and guardians, to take a few minutes to watch the Candidate Information Video provided by the State Examinations Commission.
The video explains important information that students need to know before sitting their examinations and highlights simple steps that can help ensure examination papers are processed correctly. It covers key details such as correctly completing examination numbers and dates of birth on answer books, as well as using the appropriate pen during examinations.
Parents and guardians can support students by watching the video together and discussing the information in advance of the exams. The video is available via this link.
We strongly encourage all students to familiarise themselves with the information before the commencement of the 2026 examinations.
