Leaving Cert Answers from The Educational Company of Ireland is a nice little helper app for those wretched souls facing into the barrel of a ‘life determining’ exam.

The app provides the answers for the 2005 papers as a sample so you can see the quality before splurging on later years.

Leaving Cert Answers is available now on the Apple App Store with a free sample of the answers available and the rest as in app purchases.
