How to Cheat in the Leaving Certificate

How to Cheat in the Leaving Certificate 1998 is an independent Irish film directed by Graham Jones, in which six teenagers devise a plan to cheat in their Leaving Certificate final school examinations. The film was shot in black and white on Super 16mm. After being hailed by critics it was blown up to 35mm for theatrical distribution. Many well known Irish faces made cameo appearances and some commentators regard the 2004 American film, The Perfect Score, as a remake.

A few weeks before the film went on general release in Ireland, the Junior Minister for Education, Willie ODea, explicitly condemned the film, leading to widespread coverage in newspapers, television, and radio. In part, anxiety was due to the timing of the films release, which occurred a few months before the annual summer exams. Other projects by Graham Jones such as Fudge 44 and Traveller Wedding have also caused controversy.I Hear You Breathing In from Eleanor McEvoys debut album, Eleanor McEvoy and Parachute by Something Happens are some of the tracks featured in the film. ........
