6,100 Leaving Cert students are to get higher marks because of errors with the calculated grades system.
An independent review has discovered three errors with the code used in the system.
The Education Minister says no student will get a lower grade because of the findings.
Any student who was wrongly downgraded can now see their new mark on the Leaving Cert student portal.
These new results will be loaded into the #LeavingCert2020 student portal at 6pm this evening
