Predicted results is brand new territory for all of us. And the 2020 predicted LC threw up some strange - though not necessarily negative - results.

Like I’m happy..... but very confused? My best subjects got marked down and my worst got marked up? Don’t understand but I’ll take it #LeavingCert2020

Of course, amid all the nervousness, there was a huge strain on the grades portal. Regardless, congrats to Katie who got 503 points!

The portal itself was a new experience for loads of us, and took some deciphering.

In the end of the day, the leaving cert isn't just the end of secondary school, it's the beginning of chapter for so many people. We'll give Jedward the last word on this: you're all legends.
