Ever wondered which Leaving Cert subjects are the most popular, or which are generally awarded the most H1s?

Use the CareersPortal Leaving Cert Results Grades Explorer tool to compare information, build realistic expectations, and learn surprising facts about the various subjects!

Please note the 2020 Leaving Cert Results were based on the Calculated Grades awarded to most students and not on the November 2020 Leaving Cert Results as it was only taken by a small number of students.

The 2021 results are the highest result achieved in each subject based on whether a student sat the Leaving Cert examination in that particular subject or opted for Accredited Grades. If students only opted for accredited grades in a subject and did not sit an exam then that is the only grade that has been used.

The 2022 and 2023 results were artificially inflated in order to be comparable to the results from students who sat the exam in 2021.
