This will change in 2012 as students who decide to sit higher level maths and pass it will automatically receive an additional 25 points. Students are examined in a number of ways. They will all have to sit an exam in June. This comes at the end of 6th year. They may have to hand in practical work, do an oral or aural exam in addition to their final written test.
*Students sitting Foundation Level can get the following points
A1= 20POINTS
A2= 15POINTS
B1=10 POINTS
B2=5 POINTS
