The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations, including organising the holding of examinations and making arrangements for the marking of work presented for examination.

I understand from the State Examinations Commission that all observations received by the Commission in relation to the Leaving Certificate Higher Level Mathematics examination are passed to the Chief Examiner for consideration in the context of finalising the marking scheme for the subject.
