This year's postponed Leaving Cert exams will begin on 16 November, subject to public health advice, the Department of Education has said.
Junior Cert exams for adult learners and early school leavers will also begin in November. The exams will take place in the evenings and at weekends, and the Leaving Certificate exams will be written examinations only.
The Leaving Certificate exams were postponed in May, and a system of calculated grades introduced. The vast majority of students have registered for the calculated grades process.
Students who receive calculated grades may also opt to sit the exams should they so wish. They will be credited with whichever grade is higher.
