Marking schemes!!!

Carsinian Thau

Just saw on examinations.ie that the marking schemes will be up from the 27th of August.

I'm so happy, I could develop a new neurosis and spend the rest of my days vividly imagining my exam scripts while reading the schemes to see how I should have been graded....

Gee, you're too nice. But seriously though, I thought my paper 1 was a load of bollox on the day. Paper 2 did go better, but this summer when I was doing estimates on my points and stuff, I always assumed that I was getting an A2 in it.

Would be nice to have a look before the rush of that 1 hour slot in school to look at marking schemes and your paper

Corruptedmorals

Even just English, Irish Maths today..and the rest phased out over next 3 days.

Looks like they will be going up tomorrow.

Emailed Examanations.ie, got this reply.

We expect to have the Marking schemes online by tomorrow. They will be uploaded, at the very latest, by Thursday to make them available for the viewing of the scripts (Friday, Saturday).

English will be out in a second, crucial for me.

Corruptedmorals

Come on English..

ninebeanrows

If it is the essay which screwed me over in my English i will be drawing to this point.

Candidates may refer formally to the text to which the composition is linked or they
may complete the composition assignment with reference to their own store of
knowledge/reference/experience

thus this heading can clearly be interpreted in whichever way i interpret it.

Write a magazine article (serious or light-hearted) entitled: “The Modern Shopping
Centre”.
Reward a clearly established and sustained register. A personal or impersonal approach is
acceptable.

I am angered that i got a D2 in my English, after reading this marking scheme and looking back at my paper from memory i would have expected a C2 at least.

It's really weird looking at all the marking schemes.. I can barely remember answering any of the papers!

ZorbaTehZ

Pretty much everything is up now, except for a few specific levels like in Business.

Corruptedmorals

I think I know what swung me the A1 in English.

Short story- candiates may refer to the image(s) only implicitly.

Unseen poetry- Is basically a reading test. Do not expect lengthy answers.

Oh, i really regret looking at the Geog Higher marking scheme. On Q11 C, I described two urban problems in huge detail and thought I would get close to 80 in that question. Now, i look at the marking scheme and you needed to discuss one problem and one opportunity. It was in the question all right, not very clearly thought, I just saw problems and rambled on with what I had learned. it says I can only get 5 SRP's max. Fcuk it, it probaly cost me a grade and five points, and i missed my course by 10, fcuk,fcuk can't do anything about it now though. now i know how i only got a B3.

PS would they ever just put up higher Business
