    If you fail maths in the leaving cert does that mean that you failed the leaving cert?

    Not inherently, but it means that your options in terms of courses are drastically limited. It's in your best interests to pass maths because otherwise you risk all that hard work being for nothing.

    There is no such thing today as having 'failed' the Leaving.
    What is commonly taken as 'Leaving Cert. standard' is 5 passes or more at any level.

    And of course you can still get into, without any maths at all, the
    Faculty/College of:
    • Arts
    • Human Sciences
    • Philosophy
    • Celtic Studies
    • Law
    • Social Science
    in any of the NUI colleges, (UCD, UCC, NUIG, NUIM).
    (See section 4.1 of the matriculation book: http://www.nui.ie/college/docs/matricRegsENG_2010_2011.pdf)

    You can't really fail the Leaving Cert anymore. Failing Maths may make you ineligible for certain courses though. Qualifax is quite handy for finding out this.

    There is always the FETAC/PLC route to college, which many people forget about.
