    Ohhh, C'mon.

    Why are people making a big deal about ordinary irish..

    There's like what 4 poems to learn.. 2 of which are like exactly the same (Nil aon ni and faoiseamh) and 5 stories.. and they're all piss easy!

    Because it's all relative?

    Like, the honours course isn't that big a deal. We get a couple of extra poems, one text (on which the question is always easy) and a bit of history. So what?

    It's, like, not easy if you're linguistically challenged. Some people have an aptitude for it, others don't.

    The ordinary level Irish paper is no less of a pisstake than the higher level.

    Like, imo.

    Lol, you really can. I covered study for both papers in two hours (including breaks for staring in to space) and am having no worries about the paper.

    I'm doing 6 Higher subjects and am considered one of the top people in my year, but I'm going to look like a right fool when I leave this exam after 10mins (literally!) to go study Business.

    I honestly haven't done Irish since over a year ago (I didn't attend the class this year, and having done Higher at JC level, I still think I have sufficient vocabulary to see me through P1)

    P2 is only 18% anyway!

    Its kind of stupid, to have Day 1 Irish worth over three times the marks of Day 2 Irish?

    You really would. The reading comps. are no bother and the story can be an accident/robbery/lotto lol take your pick!
    18%!? I knew it was low but god! Nice one!
