The number of Leaving Cert students appealing their results has increased significantly this year.
More than 9,000 students have appealed 17,000 grades - compared to 5,200 students appealing just over 9,000 grades last year.
It means around one in six Leaving Cert candidates have asked for a paper to be rechecked.
Higher Level Music is the subject with the biggest increase in appeals, increasing from 164 appeals last year to 479 - an almost 200% increase.
Higher Level biology was the most appealed subject, with almost 2,100 students requesting rechecks.
This year marks the first one in which a faster appeals process has been introduced.
The results of appeals will be released to students in the week beginning September 16th - three weeks earlier than the normal time-frame.
It follows a High Court case taken by student Rebecca Carter.
She claimed that the previous time-frame for Leaving Cert appeals meant that, in the event of a successful appeal, she would not have been able to start her course in time and would have had to accept a deferred offer for the following year.
In his judgement, Mr Justice Humphreys said the previous system was highly unfair to students and could not be repeated.
