Saaame. Could go either of two ways. I haven't prepared anything to be honest. I'm thinking maybe I should have

I would too... theres so much I would do differently if I repeated, but I just dont think I would be mentally capable of going through the whole LC stress again. Fair play though, did you pick up any subjects

With Biology, geography english irish and maths all behind me I feel like Ive already finished the leaving. Can hardly find the motivation to study for german or art history :mad:

I was thinking about repeating just two weeks ago, but I never could have imagined how stressful this past week and a half has been I honestly dont know if I could psychologically take this stress ever again

Also didn't help that the diagram was of the foot/elbow/arm/leg was impossible to read, there was two parts on the paper that were not even on the course at all, no photosynthesis, no respiration, spelling mistakes and no human reproduction. The SEC really messed up big time with this, I'd say the marking scheme will be so nice this year.

That french paper (mainly the q1/opinions/diary) was soo lovely especially compared to other years!!!

Still, not sure how i did, hopefully a C anyway

So far, ALL my papers have been nice, hope this continues!!

WHY is the French listening on after the written and not before?

WHY is the listening 40 minutes long with astronomically long pauses in between, as compared to Irish where they race through?

WHY is the ordinary level paper the same length as the higher???

Must have spent at least 2 hours this morning bored out of my face in the exam centre when I could've been studying business, and now I'm still not studying business nice paper tho ngl

People in my school did. I could hear the big football game going on outside while I was finishing my exam!

It still makes no sense that the listening is after. Can anyone think of a logical reason why this is the case? I tried to think of one but have failed. Best I could think of is most people are finished with time to spare so they'll have a break?

Hadn't crossed my mind to bring any study material with me and I live too far away to go home and get some, there was literally nothing better for me to do but sit there and read my paper over and over

It's on after the exam so the JC's can use the CD players in the school for their listening which is before the exam.

Haha is that actually the reason? They need to do this because CD players are so rare and expensive. :rolleyes:

It looked like an ankle to me so I said ball and socket I was glad there was no photosynthesis or respiration! I didn't know them at all :O question 15 was amazing
