    The most recent Chief Examiner's report (2010) says (for French):
    All candidates were marked out of a total of 100 marks, which were
    allocated as follows:
    Pronunciation 20 marks
    Vocabulary 20 marks
    Structures 30 marks
    Communication 30 marks
    The oral component accounted for 25% of marks at Higher Level and 20% of marks at Ordinary Level. The oral examination is conducted in the same way for both Higher and Ordinary Level candidates. All candidates are marked out of a total of 100 and the marks of Ordinary Level candidates are adjusted at a later stage.


    It seems to be different for each subject.

    Perfect. Was looking at examiners report for Spanish and it wasn't mentioned but it was an old one, will check out the most recent now!

    Thank you!

    EDIT: Just checked, marking scheme is extremely vague for Spanish - I will just go by the above I think.

    We got a circular last week with FAQs and the breakdown of the marking scheme. Had a quick glance at it. The first 10 pictures for the 2013 sequence was included. You should get one this week. :)

    Apologies if it's not Irish you are asking about!
