Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed).
Ms Elaine Sheridan:
Some 30% is coursework and the other 70% is broken down into two pieces. Within the 70% written exam, which is marked and graded, there is a written and a practical piece that are done on the same day. There are two practical elements and a written exam. It is a very applied learning type of subject.
