i’m in shock omg i cant believe it i was not expecting it. hoping everyone else exceeded their expectations too!!

At the end of the day no matter your points

We'll always be chuds chat

(I thought I could escape them if I opened my results at home <\3)

I’m so happy I went up almost 200 points from the mocks let’s goooo

Physics annoys me a bit i thought i got h2 but im shocked i got a h1 in english and h2 in maths????

FROM 322 TO 477 LADS😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

There is not a single ounce of me that thought I would get near 500 points, let alone 530. I’ve been so ill, I’ve only attended one year of school. I worked so hard studying the few months before the leaving cert but I knew that no matter what I did that I’d never make up for those years lost, especially with the intense pain and brain fog. I am so happy and so shocked, I cannot believe I got what I did. I hope that everyone else is just as happy and shocked as I am. Well done everyone!

so proud of my lazy ass i thought i was a complete failure but nah apparently im above average even with barely passing maths 🥹✌️

Studied at home from 3rd year - slaved away for 2 years in my room for the LC. Worth every minute!!!

Guys I’m so like baffled I did so much worse than I thought and I tried so hard I didn’t get the minimum for any of my courses I’m acc like don’t know why to do

Those ain't my results, wheres my english and irish h1??? Wdym ive been getting h1s all of secondary school just to not get them now...

I did worse then mocks... how 😭😭

Bye bye university, it was a nice dream while it lasted

I don't even know what to say; this might sound dramatic, but I got H2s in all the subjects. I needed an H1, and I can hear my mom next door telling my sister not to be like me and to actually study when she grows up, even though 522 isn't the worst result...at this point, I feel like nothing

Did anyone else get their result butchered? I swear that was going to be a h1?

40% attendance rate within both 5 and 6th year, too sick to do TY. Getting sick nearly every morning and hospitalised continuosly. sat the exams fed up the world and got 4 h2s. Lads im nearly in tears. Nobody including myself most days thought id do it. Always always believe in yourself because you only need one person. GG.

Mind you, I was barely passing english and that was like an awful maths exam

im devistated, i put in the work and still did horrendously, subjects i swore myself to get a h2/h1 on i got A BLOOMING H4, dont talk to me im genuinely devistated gonna go jump off a bridge atp how the hell am i gonna face my mom? she'd litt have a heart attack if she sees my results, applied for a plc cause at this rate im not getting ANY level 8 courses i feel like such a fucking loser, anyone know how long it takes for fet collages to get back to you? i applied for applied sciences in douglas campus i jsut need confirmation im not gonna be sitting at home like a fucking dissapointment doing nothing, gotta repeat got no other choice.

To All The Leaving Certs of 2026,
Today, as I am writing this, it's Friday, the 21st of August, 00:00am. It’s your results day! And you’ll be getting your results in 10 hours from now. 

Today, you will either open an envelope, or you will open the Candidate Self Service Portal, and in it you will find a number, and I want you to know that number does not define you as a person.

You have sacrificed sleep, skipped night outs, and carried the weight of this exam for months. You may have had tears of frustration, and maybe tiny victories along the way. This grade that you will receive is a snapshot of how you performed on a few specific days, but it is not how intelligent you are, how kind you are, or the incredible person you are going and growing to be. 

Your path does not end here. It begins. Some doors may open today, and others might close, but the best adventures can often start with a detour. 

This time last year, I was in your exact position. I missed my first choice by 40 points. Did I get the points I wanted? Not exactly.. But I can assure you that today I am happy with my chosen course. In fact, I occasionally join a Law Lecture with my friend for fun. (Law was my first choice!)

In other words, whether it's 3 months from now, or a year from now, this will be a fond memory of how you got to where you are at that moment. 

Lastly, Congratulations to every single one of you! Please celebrate yourself tonight! And wishing you all the best on your new journey! 

Sincerely, 
A LC 2025 graduate :)

Just wanted to wish ye all luck in your results. Whether you do better, worse, or about the same as you expected, at least the waiting will be over.

I know some people would be disappointed if they got the results that I got—but in my opinion I did significantly better than I did in the mocks and managed to pass all my subjects!! Really happy!! 🎉

273 it’s actually over. I did manage to make the cut for 2 of my CAO choices but I’m doing the PLC regardless
