AFAIK if the whole country makes a complete sh!te in general of a question it's marked easy enough.So should be ok.
Eamo pass Maths for me and i'm fluent at the Gaeilge so looking forward to tomorrow.
Today is the worst day.Over 7 hours of constant writing.......my finger is killing me and i've a splitting headcahe but that's the last time i'll EVER have to do poetry etc again!!!!:)

I know what you mean Conor....it took me a full 4 years before I could read a book bordering on a classic such as Wuthering Heights or The Cruicible after I had done the leaving but I found my way back....the way they make u tear every word apart from a novel or poem or play doesnt make u appreciate the writing but more despise that someone is making you do it. I now have room for poetry, plays and novels in my life again coz am not being made to read them!
Well done on getting thro yesterday and am sure today will be fine.....altho by the time ur reading this it will be over!

I still loath Wuthering Heights with a passion, but I've found time to go back to King Lear and enjoed it a whole lot more than the first time around.

Yup!!
I had to laugh at some of your messages earlier!!!:p
It was cruel!!:D
Had my two pass subjects today,thought Maths was decent enough,need an A1 in it do.Irish was apparently easy but i somehow managed to completely **** it up,possibly because i havnt a word of irish and havnt really had a proper irish class since december 2004.Anyone what the likely hood of failing pass irish is,i mean are the examiners generaly sympathetic and pass most people.
Thought English was grand,wrote 26 pages altogether and my hand is still wrecked!

I did it last year,did the worst essay ever in the Irish,used loads of english words and still passed so they should sound enough with the marking.
I finish on the I5th, buíochas le Dia...
Heh, made an abysmal attempt at that question. I started waffling on about how the mole in yer man's forehead would put people off etc. :D
I'd say I might have scraped a B; Section 1 and Section 2 of Paper 1, I probably got close to full marks (my essay was five full pages long), Sec. 3 I done a 'blurb' on Scarface - not sure what the minimum size it had to be but I think I did reasonably well there, Sec. 4 - crap. PaperII was alrite although I done fecking sh*te on the 'Van Gough's Yellow Chair' question...
Maths P.1 was easyish though my lack of studying proved costly. Irish aural was SO easy. Done well overall in it so might get a B, I've definitely got a C though. Just finished CSPE which was simple.
My priority now is to make up for the huge loss of sleep I've missed the past two days, then study like mad for Maths, do a bit of history/business/french and ignore Science like I usually do.
After that I can return to supporting Harps... \o/

Doing the junior cert? It's hardly worth the paper it's written on:p. The leaving cert? Good luck with it!

10/06/2006, 9:38 AM
As for cspe.............probably up there in the same standard as the religion exam!!!! p!ss easy really
The CSPE was a bit stupid I must agree. Question Three helped me quite a bit as one of the choices was 'action project involving a talk given to you by a Garda' which my class had actually done!
Btw what People in History questions have you guys prepared? I've several planned inc. Magellen, Textile worker, Da Vinci, Luther, Medieval Lord/Monk/Serf, Ancient Ireland Farmer and Ive still to learn Wolfe Tone and Social reteller. Hopefully that's enough although I'm a bit worried as regards to my lack of 1600 onwards people in history...
Many of yis going to do transition year? I am but I'm currently having trouble acquiring work experience. (I could go to Tesco etc. but I'm leaving them as back-ups if I still can't get work in a smaller business). The whole thing is a load of balls anyway since all it's gonna consist is working on the till / stacking shelves / making a cup of tae etc

Great verse I always like to think of before exams/hard times:
"This is the confidence that we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us- whatever we ask- we know that we have what we asked of him."
Good luck guys taking exams in England-may God be with you!
England?
Done crap in both Maths and Geography today. However I should manage an A in everyone's favourite subject; History.

\Geography as well

got an A in the JC in History...........loved the subject!
Would have loved to have done it for the LC but it didn't suit to do it in all honest!
Ara well!
Bon chance pour les examens Francais demain!!
Je suis tres nerveuse!!!!:eek:
I love history as well (well mainly the Irish parts of it), got 98 at X-mas and 68 in the Mocks - which wasn't bad actually, since I hadn't studied.
History is tomorrow - I have a feeling I could balls it up.

Well thank f*ck i ddin't do the honours paper.....it was by all accounts scandalous.Totally unfair the LC is hard enough as it is without throwing us off on the day of the exam!
The pass paper was grand but had a few tricky parts!
French is a joke too!:mad: ........The aural was impossible and having to discuss the world cup slogan in french is a bit diificult considering you'd sum it up in one sentence in English.:rolleyes:
Business tomorrow, Accounting(monday),Economics on wednesday and i like all those subject so hopefully they'll be grand!:)

Finlma it was ok but i've had nicer papers..........hate French with a passion so i'd be a bit biased.Croatia and handball for those!
Why what happened?
It asked 4 questions about stuff not even on the syllabus!:rolleyes:

I'm looking forward to Business,hoping for an A2.

I remember doing the honours Maths paper II (I think) in 2003 and it being difficult enough...it was so serious it even made the Joe Duffy show...( :D ). The Maths papers in particular seem to have history.
Personally I don't think the LC is that hard, it's too much of a glorified memory/regurgitation test and why I don't really entertain stories of them "throwing us off".:)

I did the Leaving waay back in 1997, and our Physics teacher remarked that our physics paper was the hardest in 10 years. I remember at least 5 people got up and walked out before 5 minutes. Was tempted to join them myself...
