I love this paper, it's the best part of the whole Leaving Cert course to be honest. The stories and poems are just brilliant craic to study, can't wait to write about them!!

*Sarcasm*

:P

I thought the above was serious for a second

The poem question is worth less than reading it out on the oral. Effort.

Well I don't know about you, but I was exhausted after reading out Colscaradh, really took it out of me. I probably would have had to sit the rest of the exam out if I had gotten one of the longer poems to read.

Going to learn off the achroimes, I can just waffle about everything else. I've stuck up all my Irish notes on my bedroom wall next to my bed so I can read/comprehend them when I'm too lazy to leave my room.

Does anyone have any notes on how to answer the questions with regards to the genre each leamhthuiscint is written in?

A Caca Milis question would be right up my ally. Have an essay about the teannas between Paul and Catherine, so fingers crossed! The poem is bull****table enough, what with it being on the paper! Really can't understand why the comprehensions have been shifted to paper two, though... Very strange decision.

Apparently they wanted to stop people using words/phrases from the comprehensions in their essay. Which I totally would have done...

Haha, fair point.

Im hoping for two handy enough reading comps, they're what always brings me down .

In giving you the poem on the sheet is that beacuse they expect you to use quotes whereas they don't expect you to quote from the prós and An Triail..? Or will ye be quoting everywhere ye can?

Are people rewording the comps or just copying from the text ?

I'm pretty sure you can just pull from the text apart from the Q7 (6?) the one where you have to give your opinion or whatever

Yeah I know it doesn't specify, just not sure if it's better to put it in your own words, my teacher told me to reword it, I'm just worried about time

oldcrescent

Namlub

Technically you could leave out poems and pros and still get an A

earwax_man

3 hours and 5 minutes is a bit tight for all that! What are the timings that you guys are using? I barely finished on time during the mocks

Cáca Milis is simply amazing. :P

The literature is actually only 6.6%. I made a mistake.

I agree with you

Same! I think I'll just try learn three good An Triail questions as there isin't a huge amount they can ask on it, maybe gave a quick look over the prós and just completely bluff the poetry, seeing as they give it printed I'm just going to fill it with quotes. I'm hoping for an A1 in Biology so I don't want to neglect it.

p.s How much are you guys going to write for each question? Is a page and half sufficient for the filíocht and prós and then maybe two and a half or so for An Triail?

I'd be delighted with a page each on prós and poetry and a pgae and a half on A thig na tit orm. You're all making me look bad

3hrs and 5mins for 18 measly %.

EUGH disgusted, t'will be another late night anyway. Last night I brewed a bit of Colombia's second finest export at midnight and kept on going till about 2.30

Don't worry, I wouldn't say I'll write that much!:D I just think it's better to aim for the most ya can because you'll never get more than what you aim for, you could apply that to life in general (bit gay but true! )

Point taken.
