Subject choice matters just as much through Gaeltacht schools as anywhere else.
A short interest assessment identifying the Leaving Cert subjects most likely to suit you — whichever medium you're studying through. With an AI-written summary and a certificate.
Subject choice usually happens faster than it should
For most students, choosing Leaving Cert subjects is a rushed decision made in a few weeks of third year — based on timetable clashes, what a friend is doing, or which teacher is well-liked, more often than on genuine interest.
In Donegal that rushed decision can matter more than it looks. The subjects dropped at 15 can quietly close off a place at the new Letterkenny Apprenticeship Academy or a PLC route through Donegal ETB, long before anyone's filling out a CAO form.
The Subject Choice Test gives that decision a proper starting point: a structured look at what actually interests you, translated into the subject areas most likely to suit you, well before the choice needs to be locked in.
Three steps, about 10 minutes
Answer the assessment

“I went into the test without really knowing what I wanted to do. The results gave me a few different options and, more importantly, made me think about what I actually enjoy and what I could see myself doing. It definitely made researching my CAO choices easier.”
“As a parent, it can be difficult to know how much to get involved when your child is choosing their CAO courses. CourseCompass gave us something useful to discuss together and helped explain why certain courses might suit them. It was a good starting point for having that conversation.”
“I honestly wasn't sure what I wanted to do after the Leaving Cert, so I gave CourseCompass a go. The recommendations were actually a lot more specific than I expected and gave me a few courses I hadn't really considered before. It was useful having everything explained rather than just getting a list of courses.”
