With a week to go to the Leaving Certificate, students and parents can now access a web seminar on study tips and exam advice on Ireland.com, the website of The Irish Times.

Recorded last night the seminar covered a range of topics, such as the most effective way to study and whether to take the higher or lower level paper.

Another seminar, hosted by Emmet Oliver, Education Correspondent with The Irish Times and Mr Vivian Cassells, exams and careers expert, will take place on Monday at 6 p.m.

There was a large response to the first seminar and parents or students with last minute queries for the second one can email them to education@irish- times.ie from today.
