Irish CAO Points Calculator

Work out your Leaving Certificate points in seconds, then find out what that number would have reached. This app does the two things most points calculators get wrong. The maths bonus is applied to your maths result before your best six are chosen, which is how it actually works and which changes the answer more often than you would think. And your total is not left sitting there on its own: the app tells you how many courses that number reached in the last round of offers. WORK OUT YOUR POINTS Higher, ordinary and foundation level. The LCVP Link Modules. The 25 point maths bonus, applied in the right place, with a plain line telling you whether it counted for you and what it was worth. Add up to nine subjects and the best six are picked for you. NARROW IT DOWN TO WHAT YOU WANT Nine hundred courses is not an answer. Pick the subject areas you are interested in, the level, and the colleges you would actually go to, and see what is left, grouped by how your total sits against what each course has taken: comfortable, close, or further off for now. Nothing is predicted and no percentage is invented. Every band describes years that already happened. SEE WHAT IT REACHES Every course whose published entry points your total meets, and the ones you came within twenty points of. Filter by honours or ordinary level, or search by course and college. FIND A SUBJECT, NOT A COURSE CODE General Nursing is one page, not twenty. Open a subject and see every college that teaches it, side by side, with what each one took and which way it has been moving. SIX YEARS OF FIGURES Every course carries its record from 2020 to 2025. One year is a data point. Six is a shape, and the shape is what answers "what points do I need". The most recent year is free on every course. HOW POINTS MOVED How many courses got harder and how many got easier, and which ones moved the most in each direction. KEEP A SHORTLIST, IN YOUR OWN ORDER Keep the courses you are thinking about and put them in the order you actually want them. Nothing reorders the list for you: under the CAO system a course lower on your form can never cost you one higher up, so genuine order of preference is already the best anyone can do, and a tool that sorted it for you would be implying a tactic that does not exist. NEVER MISS A DEADLINE Every CAO date with the exact time it falls at, because the change of mind facility closes at five in the afternoon and people miss it by hours rather than by days. Turn on reminders and get one a week before and again the day before. They are scheduled on your phone, so nothing is sent anywhere. NO ACCOUNT, NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR Your grades, your shortlist and your reminders are stored on your device and are deleted with the app. Nobody else can see them. NOTHING IS INVENTED Every entry point shown is a figure that was published for that year. Nothing is estimated, averaged into existence or predicted. Where a course has no published figure, the app says so rather than filling the gap. Scores that include a portfolio, an audition or an entrance test are marked and kept out of every range, because they are not on the points scale. NO ADVERTISING There are no ads. Nothing follows you between apps and nothing about you is sold. FREE, AND STAYING FREE The points calculator, your full total, every subject line, the maths bonus and what it was worth to you, the appeals calculator and every CAO date. None of that is capped, counted or blurred, and none of it ever will be. ONE PAYMENT FOR THE REST The first courses in every band are shown in full, and so is the most recent year for any course. One payment opens the whole list, and every year of figures the app holds. It is a single purchase, not a subscription, it does not renew, and it restores on any device signed in to the same store account. This is an independent app. It is not affiliated with the Central Applications Office. For applications and official information, go to cao.ie.
