What's involved?

Students do not need to take technology at Junior Cycle to qualify for this course. It would, however, be an advantage if students studied either tech drawing, wood technology or technology.

For the Leaving Cert, there are two parts to the technology course: the coursework (50%) and the written exam (50%). Here's a breakdown:

Coursework

Students must design and produce an artefact and a folder to accompany it. A brief for this coursework is issued to schools each year by the SEC.

Written exam

Both levels have one examination paper. The ordinary-level paper is 2 hours and the higher-level paper is 2.5 hours. The paper will contain Sections A (core topics) and B (five options).

How to study technology

Practice past exam questions

One of the most effective ways to study technology is to practice past exam paper questions. The more questions you can do, the fewer surprises you'll have on the day of your exam. 

This is why we have broken down all of the past exam paper questions into neat topics. This will save you loads of time searching for the right questions. You can find a list of question topics on the technology subject page.
