    The Leaving Cert will be reformed because exam questions are "predictable and students memorise answers". Current 5th years and 6th years will not be effected. The Leaving Cert will be reformed within 3 years and "the proposed grades would be scaled down from the current 14 options to A1, A2, B, C, D, E, F and NG.". Students with similar grades will face a possible lottery for university places. This means that the students will be randomly picked.

    What do you guys think about this? I find it unfair as students are already struggling with the current system but I also think they have a point.
