Just over 6,100 candidates appealed almost 11,650 individual results. Of these, 2,729 results have been upgraded, or just under 24%
The State Examinations Commission said the final number of upgrades represents less than 1 per cent of all Leaving Cert results awarded this year.
In the processing of appeals, the marking of each candidate’s work was reviewed question-by-question using the original marking scheme.While the appeals marking process took place as in any normal year, the process this year also had to allow for the reapplication of the “post marking adjustment” following the appeal marking.This is on foot of Minister for Education Norma Foley’s pledge to ensure this year’s results were no lower than last year’s, on aggregate.
Candidates who are still unhappy with the outcome of their appeal can apply to view their remarked written exam script by Monday next. Details of these processes, how to apply, and the relevant application forms have been set out for candidates in Leaving Certificate 2023 —Candidate Information Guide, which issued with candidates’ results.A total of just over 10 per cent of candidates made an appeal against one or more results, down from 14 per cent last year.
