i dropped down from honours and the first thing i realised is how much you can have done before you go in!
For paper 1:
-Have a basic sceal prepared and mould it to anything. the one our whole class uses is "coming home from the disco, was a great night, the weather is sh**y, suddenly you get hit by a car, call the ambulance go to hospital"
-prepare the letter in the same way - its usually an abroad one
-th reading comps are simple.. read the question find that key word in the paragraph and if you cant figure out exactly whaat to write, write the whole thig, thay have to give you half marks at least
Paper 2:
-just know a general summary for fiche blian ag fas, an lig sin i gcathu etc, and know about the charachters
-for the poetry, have a look at the book fiuntas.. it translates it and everything for ya
paper 1 is the easiest to get full marks in cause all they want is the nathanna cainte and you can have all of them learned before you go in!
i hope this helped and best of luck OP!

Before I start, You are perfectly correct in everything that you have said, but dear lord I wish that wasn't the case.
Reform of how Irish is taught can not come soon enough because as it is, Irish is not 'taught', People are just instructed on how to pass a memory exam that just happens to be in Irish.:mad:0 -

Hi
i dont think you should move.
am for paper 1:
- the sceal and letter is 120 percent of your overall paper so focus on them alot! Thats more than paper 2 (the whole lot of it)
- if you learn one essay off by heart word for word you can get 80% - any further mistake in grammer etc but if you have the grammer and speelings correct you have 48/60 already thats 8% alone
-The letter
Bothar na tra
(Country you in)
Date
A (Una/Liam), a chara,
Opening= Conas ata tu? Ta me go maith. Aon Sceal? Ta suil agam go bhfuil tu fein agus do chlann i mbarr na slainte. Ta an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch/ Ta se ag cur baiste gan stad. Ta nuacht agam. (type in what news: taking it from the question)
Middle= Say some basic sentences about the news. Three or four will suffice
End= Caitheamh me imeacht anois mar...... ta obair bhaile agam/ ta alan obair agam/ ta me ag dul go dti an tra. Beidh me filleadh abhaile i dha seachtaine/ an mhi/ dha la........
Slan go foill,
Do chara dhillis,
(Una/Liam)
It writes out to about 3/4 of a page in average writing.
sorry there are no fadas i dont quiet no how to do them!!!!!
-the comprehensions just start practicing as many as you can!
Paper 2: 17% of overall just learn as much as you can you only have to learn 4 stories...... but learn all the poems!
Oral: know as much as you can about yourself and school etc!
Aural: just start listening to Irish and learn common vocab.
That's all i really know!
Oh and like someone already said revise wise is brill!0
