    Starts Wednesday 3rd June.
    If it follows the same pattern as previous years, the last exam should be Wednesday 17th, 2020.

    Thank you for reply. Were they not considering extending the timetable of the exams to reduce the stress of multiple subjects being too close together ?

    You could contact the SEC. It's very unlikely there will be much change given that it is the last year for many subjects.

    Thanks. Likely to be Monday before getting a reply though.

    With more subjects changed to Junior Cycle and additional CBAs etc, I can't book flights assuming it's the same a last year. I'm hoping someone hear will know the latest info.

    Haha it might not be the end of the world but I'm hardly going to book a holiday which starts before the last exam!!!!
    Anyone with a proper answer? I would have thought the timetable would be on exsminations.ie by now.

    It isn't usually up until late December, but as I said, it is unlikely to change much. Music is almost always on the last day. Italian used to be too, but they moved it.
