Then the other teacher in my school went to a conference with like a Major Examiner or some head over LCVP and they gave sample perfect portfolios and there slightly different! I need the Distinction in LCVP and got 86% in the Mock but i'm unsure whether to change the portfolio or not!
Engineering, I'm already late with handing it up ><0 -

Are you doing any preparation?
After all you're fluent in Irish but I can't help but feel that not having things prepared is going to ultimately lose me marks.:(0 -

Preparation? Not really, sure irish should be grandAre you doing any preparation?
After all you're fluent in Irish but I can't help but feel that not having things prepared is going to ultimately lose me marks.:( But I'd say reading over the poems, maybe going over the sraith p's will help. Sometimes its easier to make up the story as you go along though, instead of having it revised :pac:
I'm not doing mine until Tuesday anyways, I'm more focused on other things at the moment than irish
Best of luck in your exam though!0 -

Thanks, should be grand I know, but I do actually want a good grade in Irish so there's more pressure this time than in French. I should do some sraiths but like you said, I usually just make it up as I see it anyway. I don't have a problem with the poetry, should be 35/35 100% sure of that.
I hope it's a generous marker.0 -

Yeah I completely agree. Sure my teacher, who's from the Gaeltacht, says that students there never bother looking at the sraiths etc., the first time they see them is when they walk into the ExamThanks, should be grand I know, but I do actually want a good grade in Irish so there's more pressure this time than in French.

I hope it's a generous marker. And poetry is just handing you marks Just take your time in the exam, and if you can somehow incorparate a Seanfocal into your sraith, or to answer one of your questions with (eg if they ask 'how do we solve the economic crisis in this country? try and put the 'ní neart go cur le ceile' one in your response, about everyone working together to solve the mess the politicians left us in or something)
It should be fine really, if you have confidence in your irish-speaking, you should walk out with marks in the bag 0 -

I just heard about throwing a seanfhocal in there the other day. Such as silly exam, it's in no way a natural conversation.AlmightyDublin wrote: »Yeah I completely agree.

It should be fine really, if you have confidence in your irish-speaking, you should walk out with marks in the bagI posted this in the other thread as well (the Irish oral one) but I need the answer fairly urgently so anyway:
Im trying to use the Modh Coinníollach in the general comhrá and was wondering how to say :''If I had the money''..........
Is it: ''Dá mbeadh an t-airgead agam....''
Bang on.0 -
Yeah, I know. Sure its hardly an exam if the poem appears on the paper too :rolleyes: An exam is there to test your knowledge, I think having the peom included on the paper defeats this purposeI just heard about throwing a seanfhocal in there the other day. Such as silly exam, it's in no way a natural conversation.
Bang on.
And you could say that the leaving cert itself is in no way a proper examination method, I look at it as more of a mass points competition :P0 -

But say if we had a 30-45 minute conversation with the examiner(I don't see this as excessive, it is 40% after all) they could better suss out your true ability to speak the language.
I did the French oral last week and to say the least I was disappointed that I came out feeling all right about how it went and yet still couldn't hold a proper conversation with a stranger in French on some random topic without my learned off sentences should that happen for instance. How is that an education if the point is to trick the examiner??0 -
