Leaving Cert 2012-13 *OFF-TOPIC* (hideaway) thread

SeanMcG95

How long should each of the three parts of question A in paper 1 be? In the pre I spend waay to long on them, making them over a page each and then I only had half an hour left at the end for the essay
I know the question B should be about 1.5-2 pages.

My aunt sent me a good luck text with a crying man at the end! It was very optimistic of her... :pac:

Are we allowed to bring stopwatches into the exam with us? It's not on a wrist watch so I'm not 100% sure.

Good luck everyone.

Now turn off the computer and get back to studying.

Ah the good luck charms. I'd a Livestrong wristband that I hadn't taken off since I got it in 3rd year.... Of course as soon as I finished it it cracked.... Maybe that's why Lance was found out :P I also had one of those rosary rings which I had for my college exams also. I kept that in my pocket and there was no bother. I think superintendants will understand those things as long as they're medals, badges etc.

Oh and guys make sure you be in extra early for tomorrow and for every exam. My superintendant was an elderly lady who was nothing but lovely and was really lax with regards to time. I often started an exam five minutes early and even though I always left every exam early, she always gave a few minutes overtime to people... You might get lucky like I did and it might make some difference

Not too bothered about English but home ec on the other hand.. I'm only just about to learn my elective and I feel like there's still entire chapters I don't know. Oh god. I'm praying that the project will bring me up a bit at least.

Around 10 to 9? I think we've to be there half an hour before the first exam starts or something!

Dear boardsies, I wish you all the very best of luck tomorrow Ye kept me sane in my studies! Don't be panicking about it now, it's only a table quiz really :P Take the advice of Lady Macbeth, "We fail?! Screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail!"

LET'S DO THIS!

My usual time: leave at around 8 or five past, 20 minute walk and get in around 8.20ish.

I'm still feeling pretty calm. However, the shooting pain along the length of my right arm that's been attacking me for the past half hour really doesn't bode well.

I, Copper_pipe would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone the best of luck with their Leaving Cert examinations.

Good luck tomorrow everyone Have an early night! Superintendents instructions

Good luck everyone !

Last minute question! Do ye do an introduction/concluding paragraph in the comprehension part A questions? As in, if you got a question saying "Describe the character of X" , would you do an introductory stating something like "the character is a, b and c" and then describe those adjectives in different paragraphs? I think I would usually do that, but the introduction seems a little bare with like 2 lines! Just looking for peoples opinions on this!

Well comrades, the last few months have been a pleasure. Good luck to everyone tomorrow, hope all goes well.

Does anyone know a list of things we can and can't bring into the exam hall with us? I've heard small sweets are OK, but I doubt a bag of Tayto is cool. A watch is cool, but can I come in with a full clock hanging round my neck Flava Flav style? Seriously though, a list of stuff would be great!

Legion.

Well, my facebook is being completely assaulted by leaving cert statuses. Bloody awful.

Anyone know a good wake up routine to make me alert for when the exam starts?
Thinking getting up at half 7, shower then berocca boost, any other good stuff?
