As I mentioned a few days ago, examinations for the 2026 school Leaving Certificate are under way. One of the interesting things about the Irish system is that the examination papers are put up online immediately after the examinations. Students took their first paper in Mathematics (either Ordinary or Higher level) on Friday and the second was this morning. There has been some reaction in the news here and here. Anyway, I thought I’d share the Mathematics papers here so you can see what you think of them. Here are the two Higher Mathematics papers: LC003ALP100EVDownload LC003ALP200EV (2)Download The Ordinary Level papers are here: LC003GLP100EV (2)Download LC003GLP200EV (1)Download They look reasonable to me. The thing that strikes me about them is that they are much more structured than the A-level mathematics examinations I took way back in 1981. Comments are welcome through the box below.
