    Hi :) My friend's Dad thinks that when you are marked in the Junior Cert the examiners look at the average or something and boost your mark up or bring it down. Apparently it always goes on. They look at the average around the country. Is this true? What is the lowest mark they'd consider boosting to an 'A'. for example my teacher said 83 would get an A? Thank you :)

    Yes so if there is an extremely hard paper where like no one got A's they revise the marking, I think.

    Yeah I think that's what he meant like as in if a certain minimum of people do not get A's they re-mark them up because certain years are of course harder than others. Hopefully that's the case with this years Irish exam!
