Results day has arrived for over 2,300 Junior Cert students in Tipperary.

They’re among 61,500 across the country who sat the exam last June.

The overall number sitting the Junior Certificate rose by 2.3 per cent this year.

Over 600,000 grades are being delivered to students in 25 subjects today.

Results from the reformed English Junior Cycle combine exam results with continual assessment marks.

This year also sees the first time students will receive a Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement.

The profile records both their exam grades, the outcome of other assessments during the Junior Cycle, and other achievements – in non curricular activities like sport, debating or community projects.
