    Why wouldn't you get the 10% though? Like I ticked all the boxes on the experiments thing... Thought that was the 10% cause it's not like they check the experiments...

    My science teacher told us that we put them in a little pocket in this folder that also has our investigations in it. They just check to see whether you're telling the truth or not. sure if yer teacher told u its fine then its not yer fault so theyd probably give you the marks

    Exam done in 43 minutes. All spaces filled. No blanks. Two questions I couldn't answer (one on chromosomes, one on the Hoffman Voltameter). Everything else is as far as I know it, correct. Junior Cert science in need of reform? hell yes :rolleyes:
    I know I'm probably not alone on this front.

    That was alright!
    I haven't done any study for any exams so far, I've been very lucky so far with what has come up and this paper suited me as well! :D
    Oh and I left at 10:50, could have left earlier but I didn't want to seem like one of the slow people leaving after a few minutes!

    Not too bad a paper. A few questions I wasn't sure of but I took an educated guess. I also eventually realised that some of them were staring me in the face.:rolleyes:

    Very impressed and at ease with that paper, had my concerns beforehand about failing but am quietly confident now of an Honour in that subject. It was a great paper to end my set of exams on for this week, great confidence boost!

    That exam was so easy. Answered every question and pretty sure all my answers are right. As Colm said, Junior Cert science is in need of reform. That was too easy.

    I wouldn't run with the idea of reform.. In fairness we seemed to get lucky today. Any past papers I done (or even the Mock) were quite difficult. I reckon the course as the minute is fine but the textbooks could do with condensing a lot of the ****e down... 300 Pages of Science at JC Level is a bit of a Joke in my opinion... The Paul Cooke Revision book from Celtic Press reduced the course to a mere 60-80 Pages, a great tool for JC Science & has enough course content to get you an Honour in the subject. The condension of the experiments he offers is priceless. Should be distributed across all schools in Third Year for Revision me thinks :D

    I found the mock and past papers easy as well.

    My book has 380, I flicked through it all last night, learning only what was highlighted. Most of book id unrequired.

    I thought that was a really good paper. Not easy as in "don't need to study easy".. But if you did study it was a breeze. Which I did. :cool:

    What percentage is the Coursework B worth?

    25% for the project and 10% for the experiments so 35% in total :)

    You didn't tick anything if the project booklet to say you did the experiments. I'm sorry to say if you didn't, that's 10% gone, it happened in my school before :(
