7 Common Mistakes Leaving Certificate Irish Students Make (And How to Avoid Them)
Irish tests several different skills, including speaking, listening, reading and writing — students can often improve significantly by avoiding a few common mistakes.
How to Improve Your Leaving Certificate Irish Oral
The Irish oral is an important opportunity to demonstrate your ability to communicate through the language — improving isn't about memorising more, it's about comfort.
The Ultimate Leaving Certificate Irish Study Plan
Irish can feel like a large subject because there are so many different skills to develop — breaking your revision into smaller areas makes it far more manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions

The written Leaving Certificate Irish examinations take place during the June examination period. The Irish oral examination takes place separately before the main written exams.

Higher Level Irish assesses students across several areas, including speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as prescribed course material. Students need to develop both their understanding of Irish and their ability to communicate effectively.

The most effective approach is regular practice. Include Irish throughout your weekly study schedule and combine oral practice with vocabulary, grammar, listening, reading, prescribed material and past exam questions.

Leaving Cert Plus Higher Level Irish covers An Bhéaltriail, An Chluastuiscint, Ceapadóireacht, Reading Comprehension, Prós, Filíocht and Litríocht Bhreise, with videos, notes, flashcards, exam questions and quizzes.

Start early and practise speaking Irish regularly. Focus on understanding your answers rather than simply memorising them, and build a bank of useful vocabulary and phrases that can be adapted to different questions.
