The Education Minister has told students to aim for the Leaving Cert starting on Wednesday, July 29th.
The exams have been pushed back from its usual date of early June due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Minister Joe McHugh says he hopes to confirm the date in the next couple of weeks but gave students and indication while answering their concerns.
He says there were many concerns with other proposals put forward for the Leaving Cert.
"We want to make this happen, and this isn't wanting to make it happen to burden our young people.
"We want to make it happen because we've looked at predicted grading - we don't think it's fair, and there's too much inherent bias."
