Education Correspondent The number of questions that this year's Leaving Certificate students are expected to answer in their June examination papers is to be reduced, in a further effort to lighten the load on candidates. Schools have this evening received further details of the exam and accredited grades process. The document also advises against the holding of mock or pre-Leaving Certificate exams. This will come as a relief to many students who were concerned that testing via mock exams might not accurately reflect their abilities. The 27-page document states that in addition to exam paper adjustments previously introduced, further changes will now be made, aimed at reducing the load on students and in acknowledgement of the considerable disruption they have experienced this year and last.
