The Junior Certificate is the mandatory state examination secondary school pupils take at the age of 15 or so. I and others have worked on this article and I'm hoping to get it featured. Any comments? Ludraman 13:48, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- Unnecessary bold text should go. Lists should be converted to prose. =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:35, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- What bold text? The dates? Ludraman 21:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

- Quick comments:
- The first sentence says "Junior Certificate Examination (commonly known as the Junior Cert)". So why is this page called "Junior Certificate" and not one of the others?
- "Irish" should be linked to highlight where this is from.
- "School leaver" is an odd term to this English speaker. I can guess what it means, but is that a common term?
- Fix all redirects, e.g. [[Mathematics|maths]]
- Lone years should not be hyperlinked per WP Manual of Style.
- "levels are in brackets" - actually, the list uses parens.
- There should be something to link to for some of the redlinks in the subject list, especially "Classical Studies"
- Watch overlinking as well - "Irish" for one has too many.
- Grammar: "has fallen disuse'""
- "Irish as a mandatory subject" could be a larger header.
- "Levels" are mentioned well before they are explained.
- Color-coded grading chart is a bit overdone. And it does not even include "honors". Perhaps a simple table?
- The Junior cert is described as a test but the main picture (which could be more detailed (larger?) shows an actual certificate. Better explanation of the paper certificate would be nice.
