Leaving Cert Results Week: How to Handle the Big Day

Leaving Cert results are almost here – and with a record 71,698 students opening envelopes, it’s no surprise the nerves are kicking in.Alex is joined by guidance counsellor and Leaving Cert Guidance creator Donnchadh O’Mahony to talk through what results day can feel like, and why it’s not the be-all and end-all, even if it feels huge right now.They break down what to do if you don’t get the points or the course you wanted, the options people often forget (PLCs, apprenticeships, studying abroad, available places, gap years), and what happens if you miss a minimum entry requirement.
