    Couldnt see one of these things here.

    How did everybody find it? I thought it was easy enough, comprehensions were amazingly simple. Letter was kindaa beatch, but got enough out of it to make sense. Scéal was alright, just go off to a concert, come home and the door is open:D

    As for the listening. That would have been harder if the script was given to me. Hope everyone else found it the same

    1 page long essay, 1 page long story, each paragraph wrote out for the comprehension.

    that should be grand.

    Aural went brilliant, answered everything.

    Comprehensions were so easy.

    I only wrote a page and a bit for sceal and the same for letter.

    Is that too short?

    Finished the paper in 47 minutes... Hahah, so easy! My story was about me crashing into aoife ni thuairisc and falling in love... ahahahahah. I did the comhra with my principal iswell, such a basic exam. Im contemplating not going into paper 2, its only like 18%.

    yeah i probably have it passed too already, think i may have got most the tape, even though i broke into a fit of laughing when the moment the examiner preesed play, an ice-cream machine started right outsidfe the window.

    i have arranged a lift home an hour before the exam ends tomorrow.

    I did a Page and 1/2 for Sceal, is this too short? I did the one where the door was open or something,...I said at the beginning, the door was open and a man came out to kidnap me and the story continues from there...is this ok?

    As for the Letter, 1.5 pages long but the addresses waist 8 lines and that....is this too short?????Or what????

    Also, for quoting directly from the text, can u get full marks or just 6/10 or 8/10....for doing that and not in ur own words???

    you're grand then. that's better than me, and i got 47% in the mocks purely from that paper.

    2 page long sceal - one I have been writing since first year :D Litir was harder, did the French thingy one. Around a page. Comprehensions... I think I might have got one wrong in each or something but I don't care about Irish - I just wanna pass it basically

    EDIT: I quoted from the text.. thought that was acceptable? ah well

    EDIT2: Lucas, it says half a page as the set length!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 120 ✭✭______

    nonsense?

    That paper was such a joke, I dropped down to pass irish at Christmas and haven't done any work since but that test was so easy. It only took just over half an hour.....and the listening.......don't even get me started. Im only going in for P2 so I can beat a guy in my class and win a bet!!!

    That person who just has a big line as their username, I just did it informally, it should e ok. Surely you got to know them, so informal would be fine. We may lose feck all though, as its only the layout thats different. Once you have some standard of Irish, it should be ok.
