Junior Cycle Results

STATE EXAMINATIONS COMMISSION

PRESS RELEASE

JUNIOR CYCLE EXAMINATION RESULTS ISSUE DATE 2022

The State Examinations Commission (SEC), intends to issue the 2022 Junior Cycle examination results to candidates on Wednesday 23 November 2022.

Noting the very significant examiner shortages which affected marking at both Leaving Certificate and Junior Cycle this year, the SEC has been making every effort to complete the marking in all subjects so that these results can issue. 

This year’s Junior Cycle results will be available in schools on Wednesday 23 November 2022. Candidates can also access their results online from 4pm on that date noting that the online service is not intended to replace the valuable results service and advice provided by schools at results issue time. 

The SEC appreciates that candidates and their parents/guardians may be disappointed that these results are issuing later than normal. This has arisen due to a combination of factors which include a later issue date for the Leaving Certificate results and, most especially, the impact of a shortage of teachers to mark the examinations over the summer marking period.  In most subjects, the number of teachers available to undertake roles as examiners was less than the number required to mark that subject within the normal summer marking window.  In all subjects, marking continued for an extended period of time in the summer and with many examiners agreeing to take on additional scripts to mark.
