I think you could have just put 'Andy' for 'Imreoir gairmiúil leadóige is..................é' .

I said is ea é but a lot of my year put down is fearr so I don't know...Irish grammar isn't exactly my strongest point!

I think either of them would do, but admittedly it's over 30 years since I sat in an Irish class. lol

Paper 1 was beautiful! Was a bit thrown by the essay titles at first but I wrote an essay like a month ago about an event that happened at the Gaeltacht and said there was a donkey beside our house and it wouldn't shut up so we snuck out in the middle of the night and cut the rope. So I said I was in a boarding schools and then wrote that :') unseen prose and poetry were okay- could have been better, could have been worse. And I was confused in the letter with "moladh"- didn't know whether it meant praise or advice from the context, but they'll have to allow for both, surely?

I'm smart enough but people like you make me feel so stupid omg, I don't even know how to say boarding school as Gaelige

For the last one the question was the write down a noun in the tuiseal ginideach from the sentence, which i think was 'dhearthair.'

Alright,didnt read the top part

I was so scared for the ceapadoireacht because we'd only prepared accident eachtra's and I'd never done an Aiste before yet was left to waffle about a holiday. Think I got like so in the paper:

Listening:
12/40

Reading:
1) 16/20
2) 12/20

TTC:
1) 8/10
2) 8/10

Ceapadoireacht:
1.v (Holiday) 41/50

Total:97/150 (65%)


Stories:
Unseen: 5/15
Seen: 10/15

Poetry:
Unseen: 5/15
Seen: 12/15

Litir:

24/30

Total: 56/90 (62%)

GRADE: C

I'd be delighted with that seeing as how hard i thought it was at the time.

Liordi

I got tugann for the first verb, fearr for the bit you got leis ( I think its ea though), ná for nó and leadoige for Jamie:)

bluejay14

Just to clear this all up on thst grammar question on P1, a year of college Irish should have left me with the ability to sort this much out!

- sa bhliain
- is ea é
- sé troigh
- ná breis
- leadóige ( two nouns together puts the second into the tuiseal ginideach, adding an i and an e into 'leadóg'

Liordi

I got 2/10, that's embarrassing.

I said tagann for the first one grr....:'(

i thought that the reading comprehension was extremely easy
however as for the rest ..................

If I got about 83-84%, do you think there is any chance they'd bump me up to an A or are they really strict about that?

Ive been told by teachers that they would and no-ones ever told me they wouldn't so Id say yes

hf98kk wrote: »

No they dont.They do it on marks not percentages for example to get an A you have to get 213/250 marks.

hf98kk

absolutely praying for an A. predicting my marks would leave me just under an A. I will be thinking about it all summer

i dont think they would. i got about 5-6 84% in the mocks. My teachers showed no mercy :eek:

Liordi

I'm coming in at (roughly) 75% if I guess my marks..hoping I get a B, but still wouldn't be disappointed with a C because that's what I thought I'd get initially.

It depends. If for some reason there was a much lower than usual number of A grades, then examiners might be instructed to look back and see can they find a couple more marks if you are on the equivalent of 84%.

Anyone think the SEC might be generous with the maths paper tomorrow and not be horrible like the mock paper?

Praying to God it's not reminiscent of the horrendous mock paper! I swear I will have a panic attack if it is!

How can you even remember even to guess your marks? Dunno what I got right, how someone would mark etc. leave it behind ye till September lads

nanook5

What is the total marks including the oral ?

Going by my predictions I've gotten about 80 % in Paper 1 and about 53% in Paper 2

So that's 173/240 marks which is 72%

My predictions may be a bit optimistic (For paper 2 at least) :P

I'd say I got around 35% out of the 40% for the oral so hopefully I can scrape a B. That would be amazing for me :pac:
