Junior Cert 

A useless test taken by all Irish teenagers halfway through secondary school. It involves learning a tonne of shit that you'll forget when you're 18 like everything else at school, only in this case the result has no effect whatsoever on your later life.

Kid: Why do we have to study so hard?
Teacher:It's all going to show up in the Junior Cert.
Unfortunately the conversation ends here as nobody has enough balls to say,'why the hell do we do the Junior Cert?'

Junior Cert 

The junior certificate is a scam run by the Irish governments and teachers unions. For three years of your teenage life and secondary school time, your peers tell you that it is the most important thing. Then after you have completed your Kippy junior cert you go onto leaving cert where none of it actually matters.

"It's your junior cert, not mine!" might be said by your teacher.

"You will be the ones sitting this in June, not me!" is also a commonly used phrase by teachers.
