ya but do you have a higher and an ordinary paper?

i havent seen the papers over here, but having spoken to some who sat exams in teh last few years, the maths curriculum seem the exact same.

Paul,

Maths A-level is harder than the Higher Level.

I know as I did A level maths and got exemptions for modules when I got to UCD.

You also have the option to do "Further Maths" which is just mental

I had Eng Lit AS this morning, went really well although i now have a blister on my finger, as i wrote about 16 sides :eek: .

Geography Physical paper was a challenge, but the Human one was nice and straight forward.

To think that standards in education were supposed to be higher in most subjects in my time. NOT from what I've read above.

I was almost a fulltime and diligent member of the Cellar Bar Faculty in UCG and went to a few lectures and read the notes/books etc. A few, I stress but not a huge amount TBH

I and my mates were more into the...er....social education provided by third level - yet we got through with pretty good results without killing ourselves and worrying was banned.

A lot of others spent hours upon hours in the Library but seemed to spend more time whispering and chatting to each other rather than actually studying, I was told. Ironically, far too many of that crowd failed - they were basket cases just before exam time. The two times I ventured there, I felt they were getting a form of group and false comfort by just being there,

It seems to be very technical now and definitely high on stress levels.

Relax a bit and don't be worrying yourselves into early ulcers - that won't help you.

Finally, the very best to you all.

[Speranza]

Finished my A Levels last thursday :)

A mate had the strange oppurtunity to do both Leaving Certs and A levels as he was really young when he left school in Buncrana (donegal). Due to Derry's proximity to the border a few people choose to go to donegal instead of British education. According to him the Leaving Cert was much more difficult. He said the leaving cert irish and economics in particular made a mockery of the A Levels.
