NUI Galway (NUIG) has launched a new app to calculate Leaving Certificate points. The results are out a week from tomorrow and iPoints is available from today for free.
Students using the app will simply enter their results for each subject, indicating whether it is higher or ordinary level.
The app then calculates the number of points attained in each subject and indicates the total.
And if you want to shout about it you can share your results on social networks or among friends and family.
What the app looks like
The university partnered with former information technology student Paul Herron, who developed the app.
Paul, originally from Co. Donegal, explained "This app aims to simplify the point calculation process for students to relieve some of the stress of Leaving Cert’ results day".
The app also calculates in 25 additional points to be added for Higher Maths if relevant, and it allows for Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) scores to be included. The app also gives students the option to share their results by text message.
Stephen O'Dea is admissions officer at NUIG. He expalins more about the app.
