Built by a qualified Guidance Counsellor

Hi, I’m Donnchadh O’Mahony. I’m a qualified Guidance Counsellor and a member of the Institute of Guidance Counsellors, and I’ve been working with Irish students since 2006. I run the Leaving Cert Guidance pages on Instagram and TikTok, and I’ve been featured on RTÉ Radio 1, RTÉ 2FM and Today FM.

I built this test to give every student the same structured, interest-based starting point I’d give them in a one-to-one guidance session – so you go into the CAO with a list built around you, not just your points.
