THE TIME HAS come for 118,784 students across the country with the Junior and Leaving Cert exams starting today.
The students have heard all the advice from the best apps and services to help with study to tips on how to unwind and focus - now it’s time to just do the damn thing.
Not that we’re saying it’s always easy…the stress of the exams is a memory that most Irish adults still can’t quite shake off.
The Minister for Education, Jan O’Sullivan, has wished all those taking the exams the best of luck saying, “It’s a significant milestone in a young person’s life.
She also touched on the stress the exams can cause adding, “This can often be a stressful and trying time in a home.
“Family and friends are often crucial in helping students remain calm and focused and for keeping things in perspective.”
So we want to know your memories from your exams – and what advice would you give to students today?

A society or state that can’t or won’t look after it’s vulnerable people,young or elderly,cannot call itself civilised full stop-no amount of tribunals,inquiries,or so called laws will change that fact-period….
Would be nice if the church in Millstreet , made a €15,000 donation to a local counselling service for survivors of residential abuses ,boi
Why not double that?
My late granny like thousands of other devout catholics was really shook by all of these exposes, but oddly enough it was the bishop Casey and Michael Cleary revelations which seemed to really knock her faith in the church. She’d met both of them a few times and really respected them. I don’t think she ever got over the fact that they were such hypocrites
