The Department of Education has been explaining how the grades will be formed.
The Department of Education has told schools not to run mock exams as part of the calculated grades process for the leaving cert.
It says the grades will be based on a teacher's estimated mark and national standardisation.

Further clarity on what the leaving cert will look like won't be available until the end of next month.
Mr. Gillespie says some things are still uncertain:
