Leaving Cert Applied Maths - Can it be done through Irish?

stephendore

Hey,
I don't remember whether I could select to get an Irish paper for Applied Maths when we got those forms ages ago...

Does anyone know if it can be done through Irish? I'd assume it could, but it would just be the easiest bonus marks ever! Doubt you'd have to use one word of any language like!

But you would have to understand the questions in Irish.

stephendore

Well no, you get both the English and Irish papers like, but I just forget whether there was an option to get the Applied Maths paper in Irish...

alan4cult

You get two papers given to you? I didn't know that.

stephendore

Yeah, I would be absolutely ****ed otherwise! I go to an Irish school, but I'm nowhere near fluent :P!
I just realised that I'm being a dope, easiest place to check this was examinations.ie,
checked the App Maths papers, and there are Irish ones, so that's my question answered!

So are you given the same english written exam paper as everyone else, but you just have to answer in Irish?

stephendore

Well kind of yeah, you get both the English and Irish exam papers, and yes, you answer in Irish.
But you can back out at the last minute and answer it in English, if need be.
(That's what I did for History :P!
