The wait for tens of thousands of students all over the country anticipating their Junior Cert results is drawing to a close. 

Today, 62,000 students will receive their results from their first set of State Examinations. 

Most students will receive a copy of their results this afternoon. 

This is the first year that a new method of assessment is being measured in the Junior Cycle.

The new Framework for Junior Cycle has been applied to English this year. 

There will no longer be the typical alphanumeric grading system of A, B or C, students will instead receive a grade descriptor such as Distinction on Merit. 

This mark will be a combination of continuous assessments throughout the school year and a written exam.  

Four students will be receiving 12 As today.

For the past number of years, you could almost bet on the weather to be warm and sunny during examination time.

While all of the Junior and Leaving Cert students studied in their rooms and panicked in exams halls, we could bask in the sunshine and thank the Looord that we're not back in those grimy halls.

Well, it appears that that's not going to happen this year.

According to Met Éireann, Ireland is going to be quite unsettled this week, with rain and thundery showers in store.

Maximum temperatures will reach 14 to 17 degrees today, but don't get too excited because rain will develop and "will turn heavy in many areas."

Tomorrow, Thursday, is looking mostly cloudy, with "patches of rain and drizzle, turning heavy and persistent along southern coasts and extending northwards into much of Munster and many parts of Leinster by morning."

Friday doesn't look too bad, as it will be dry in many areas "with sunny spells." A few scattered showers will occur, but they won't turn heavy until Friday night.

However, Saturday doesn't look bad at all. It will become "dry in many areas, with some bright or sunny spells developing." There's still a possibility of rain, but we're going to hold out hope.

It's mid-September and the buzz around the Leaving Cert has finally died down which means it's time for more than 60,000 Transition and 5th year students to find out how they fared in their first State exams.

Oh, and time for Twitter to weigh in on this milestone moment too.

While older siblings and students are quick to dismiss the significance of the ol' JC, we all sat it, we all worried about it and we all eventually realised that yep, they were right – it was only a test run and we'll just bring our A-game in 6th year.

Sorted!

There was absolute uproar when Luas drivers announced the dates of their June strikes yesterday.

Commuters going to and from work have probably gotten used to the, ahem… inconvenience, but what Luas drivers didn't realise was that their industrial action clashes with the first three days on the State Examinations.

However, after being formally notified, the strikes on June 8, 9 and 10 will now take place between 6pm and 10pm.

The move comes as a major relief to students, parents and teachers who were concerned about the added amount of pressure that the strikes would induce on the students.

And just to remember, there's a strike on tomorrow, so be prepared to find an alternative route to your destination.
