***** Back-up paper to be used for LC Irish - no change to exam date / time. *****

biohaiid

My friend has it on twitter that the Irish CD was played to some Junior Certs today by mistake, and that we're getting a new cd and paper.
Anyone else hear about this!?!?



Details here: ** Please read carefully!! **

Just read out on the 2fm news ! It's going to be horrible if the essay titles are crap all I'll be thinking will be what if they hadn't screwed up!!!!!

biohaiid

Awh no, it's real.
):
Actually, when I think about it I was doing the completely opposite to all the predictions, and don;t care what title comes up.
Bit of a b*tch still though

Togepi

Yeah it's all here.

Why do they have to do a new paper as well?

Because they're a shower of bastardíns. :cool:

imelle

hopefully the backup paper will be the one with the nice essay titles!

earwax_man

Ah come on now.

bazinga_

surely it doesn't make any difference to us at all, i mean no one knows what was on the paper given out by accident

This might sound like a retarded question but does this effect ordinary level as well?

biohaiid

Was it definately the higher paper, yeah?

yeah

The aural's the same for higher and ordinary papers so I'd imagine it affects both.

imelle

is it really that hard for the examiner to read the front of the papers before they hand them out?

earwax_man

You'd think they'd have learnt their lesson from 2009.

biohaiid

Ohwell, nothing we can do now.
If this means all the predictions aren;t coming up then I'm happy
Either way I dont think it makes too much of a difference.

Anyone here what school the mistake was made in?

Ridiculous. Always something going on with the leaving cert, whether it be like today in Geography they had a mistake on the map or that lc listening is played for junior cert...
So annoying.

Bubbleope

this is awful. ): or is it?? :eek: only time will tell.
btw what essays are everyone focusing on? :eek: i don't have a clue which topics i should concentrate on.

Togepi

Holy sh!t, this better not cost 2 million like the last time! :eek:

Zomg Okay

The SEC are pulling both papers and sending out the back-ups as a precaution.

We don't have to do anything on a Saturday, when English Paper 2 leaked a couple of years ago they had to do their exam on a Saturday. We'll still be doing Irish on Monday/Tuesday.

It wasn't the paper, the wrong CDs were packed for a few special centres.

** Please read carefully!! **

The exam is going ahead at the same time, there are no changes, it's not going to affect you except that you'll be doing the back-up paper instead of the primary paper.

No need for worry or panic!

Did anyone hear this ? Got word this afternoon that Irish Higher paper was given out in error to a few centres somewhere up the country. Apparently it was given out to junior cert students.
Is this true and was does it mean for next Mon ?

certifiedcrepe

It was just the CD according to the news and a few websites. Everything will be as normal on monday, it will be sorted in time.

Togepi

It's true, they're giving us the back-up paper on Monday. Thread for it is here.

Cruel Sun

If I mess up I'll always be thinking "what was on that other paper".

biohaiid

Is it just a new tape or whole new paper?
