Work out my CAO points – Leaving Certificate 2021

As well as having the option to sit the exam in June, all Leaving Certificate 2021 students will receive an Accredited Grade for each of their chosen subjects. This means two options for each subject; receiving an Accredited Grade only or doing both the exam and receiving an Accredited Grade and getting the CAO points associated with the higher of the two grades.

To help students trying to work out what they hope their total CAO points will be, we have created this tool where you can input what you expect to get in the Accredited Grade and/or exam and see what CAO points this adds up to.
