Hey guys, I'm considering dropping to pass Irish. My level of spoken Irish is quite high, but I can't rote learn the massive pieces of writing for the Irish essays at higher, or the summaries and the like for the stories and poetry.

I think I would be looking at about 40-50 percent if I sit the exam at higher level, but I'm wondering if with a bit of last minute work I could get an A at pass Irish.

Thanks guys.

The OL paper is piss easy. Have a look in the P1 thread for some more views on the paper.
