    As far as construction goes all that can be said is hurry up!! Keep yourself to yourself and avoid looking around. Mark, Cut, Put together, Get outta there!

    As for Irish.. well maybe someone else will get onto you about that but my advice is just vocab, vocab and some vocab... all with correct grammar!

    Regarding the Construction Practical, what I stress is to understand the drawings. Look at previous years drawings and see if you would be able to understand them on your own. Make sure you know all the possible joints that could come up. To be honest, the same few joints are re used year after year, just used in different places. When the day comes, knuckle down straight away, take time to understand the drawing and double check everything that is marked out. If you mess up, there won't be any spare pieces given out! Don't worry about it, you will get it done, nearly everyone does!
