When is the latest you can change the level of paper?

DAEDULUS

I filled out the official sheet the other day for which exams/levels I'm going to do... Is to too late to change the level(H/O)? Some say you can change it on the day, but I found that to be untrue during my Junior Cert lol

Yes in the leaving cert you can change what level you are taking...

and for some reason u cannot in the junior cert... probably because its too much hassle and the junior cert isnt as important as the leaving cert.

You can change on the day itself....what are they going to do about you taking a different level!

Iano2K8

Well they will know once your paper is being corrected...

that level form that u would have signed a few days ago is just so the department can get an approx number of students taking what subjects and at what level...

Yea you can change because im a repeat leaving cert and last year I was able to change to ordinary irish on the day.... I was sent to ask the principle first though.... dont really know what that was about.... But i was allowed anyway.... :)

you can definitly change on the day, and can sorta change on the day of the junior cert actually, but you need a letter from your princepal

I know lots of people who panicked the day of Maths Paper 1 and dropped to Pass...a few with Irish also I think..

I dropped from Honours Physics to Ordinary Level Physics on the day. If i remember rightly all I had to so was sign some sheet. Didn't need a principals letter and nobody said anything. Got an A1 too but looking at the Hons paper afterwards I'd have been lucky to get a D

In my school it wasn't a problem, you just went up to the supervisor guy and asked him before the exam.

And yeah...as everyone said, you can change on the day of your exam. The forms are just for a general numbers for the Dept Education

You can change on the day of the Leaving Cert., though you can't have a look at the Higher and then say 'Oooh no, give me the Ordinary'.

In general people can't change the day of the Junior Cert because most schools are only sent one or two more papers than they requested at each level. Cutbacks mean the printing is very tight for JC.

READ THE F*CKING MANUAL.

You can choose on the day. If, when you leave, and have already submitted your completed paper, you can request a copy of the other test to bring with you.

Once you have been handed either the O or H script, you cannot change your mind.
