Minister Helen McEntee announced in April 2025 that the percentage ranges for the top four Junior Cycle grade bands would be widened into 15-percentage-point intervals. A total of 73,336 students are receiving Junior Cycle examination results that reflect those adjustments. The widening of top-band intervals alters the percentage thresholds for the highest awards and will change how student performance maps to grade bands. Results issued for the current cycle use the revised intervals, so reported grade-band allocations for affected students will differ from allocations under the previous, narrower thresholds.
