    They mark you up if you're a few marks off a pass

    Or so my Irish teacher told me


    only if marks can be found somewhere on your paper. It's not a case of you being on 53 and just adding on 2 marks to give 55 for a C3. The marks have to be justified on the paper. Examiners do look at borderline grades to see if they can be brought up, in all grade levels not just around the 40 mark.

    My guess is that marks are rounded to the nearest 5. Which would mean 37.5% is a pass.


    Marks are not rounded in any subject in the leaving cert. I correct ag science.
