PLAN B LISTEN BACK: HOW TO DEAL WITH POST LEAVING CERT AND CAO OFFERS STRESS WITH SPUNOUT

CAO Offers Stress

This week was the week many students were counting down to as they received their Leaving Cert results and CAO Offers.

After a tumultuous year due to COVID-19, the Leaving Cert was postponed until November 2020, with students given calculated grades if they didn't wish to sit them.

This year also saw the government increase course places, however this has lead to increased demand and a rise in the points required for certain courses.

All of this makes what has already been a tough year even harder on those students.
