Junior Certificate

The Junior Certificate Examination (commonly referred to simply as the Junior Cert) is a mandatory Irish 2nd level test accredited by the State Examinations Commission. The test is taken in a secondary school student's third year and not before age 14. A student usually takes between 10 and 11 subjects, including Maths, English, Irish and a foreign language. The examination does not reach the standards for college or university entrance, instead a school leaver in Ireland will typically take the Leaving Certificate Examination two to three years after completion of the Junior Certificate.
