Nope, it's optional to each school and our school doesn't do it. You did?

my friend had a disaster because she didn't know part time job was in the essay question and only wrote about an incident in a shop

do you think she'll get any marks??

MmmPancakes

Omfg wat. Paper 1 - Fine, this is going to be fine.
Paper 2 - Wat.

I done well in the Prós but wow lol the poetry was so hard. I answered on áilleacht an dúlra, thinking it was distruction of nature, turns out it was beauty. LOL. I guess I'll get some marks because I gave relevant examples and linked them to the theme but a lot of my essay was about destroying the environment and stuff.

The letter titles were also so bad, I did the band one but struggled to think of a name and two pieces of info about it.

Hoping for a B overall, I don't think I lost 72 marks overall! plsplspls

At least all the hard exams are over for me, let's have yi' maths!

That's what I did!

Yes, once you mention that you had a part time job in a shop, then sure you'll get marks IMO. As Spurious says, it's about giving you marks, not keeping them from you

She lose some marks but won't not get any. There's probably a set number of marks for relating to the title. She mightn't get any of them but she'll still get the rest of the marks based on the quality of the essay

I thought it went well. But what is an aidiacht? All I did was write 'cumhachta' (or similar, I didn't change it) but I think I got that wrong (HL paper)..

Bluestrike

Thought Paper 1 overall was ok,
Listening i didnt get much of 2nd page but ok in last 1
Comprehensions were fine.
Changing tenses easy but B was impossible, anyone know what we were meant to do for 6?
Essay i did B (ii) and put in my pre-prepared one

Paper 2 i thought was a lot harder
Didnt really get comprehension at all and quoted from text so get few marks if any. Studied i didnt really have one prepared for it but used Dioltas an Mhada Rua and duine cliste
Poetry, didnt really get that either and same with comprehension by way of answering. Studied was fine and used Ailleacht and Dulra with Na Blatha Craige
Letter was fine, stuck in my learned intro and ending and did A, the one about a YouTube video

Overall thought it was ok, probably a low B or high C?

I didn't even notice it was a letter to the editor in there! :O

You probably won't get any Layout marks but you'll get marked on the body of your letter as if you did it to an editor.

If i did an excellent body to the letter how many marks max could i get

I honestly don't know what the marking scheme is for the letters so I couldn't tell you! Check one of the old marking schemes to see what it says about the layout and what not

I thought it meant a horrible person. Not so much in looks but in personality?

Yeah I would have went with that, I'm not sure how you'd write on an ugly person. Horrible seems more likely!

I used Google Translate which isnt the best so you could be right......
