** LC IRISH Ordinary Level - Before and after discussion **

Lollipop95

The poem is printed on the paper isn't it? Hopefully Gnathrud comes up for pros. Oisin is probably up too. Would like Caca Milis but seeing as that came up last year...who knows! Does anyone else think they cram quite a lot into paper 2? I mean it would be surely more logical to put the comprehensions in paper 1?

I think ill just go over every story briefly except for dis and caca milis , with 3 poems 1. Colscaradh 2.Geibheann 3. Spailpin Fanach as it has only come up once :P

Dont bet on me though just my oppinion ...

Hey guys
I literally don't know a thing for the paper tomorrow, I did a fairly decent oral and an ok paper today, all I'm looking for is a pass. Will I get a pass if I do the reading comprehensions tomorrow and just look Over the pros and stuff? Also if someone could link me stuff about the story's and stuff that would be great thank ya:)

Honestly, I think as long as you have an idea of what happens in the pros/poems and and are able to tell the examiner what happens in them or whatever the Q is you'll be fine and probably get way more than a pass! I got a C1 in the mocks without study(have studied for this though as I'm counting this for points!) and don't forget the oral and aural which contribute a lot to the overall grade

Isitthough?

ahh ye'll be grand but if your not going to spend so much time on the pros and filiocht make sure you get 100/100 in those compressions! I just did key vocab for the pros and filiocht and form some sentences rather than learn of paragraphs of stuff it saves time and better for your irish and it seemed to work well for the mocks. Besides they're worth the same as comprehension and the essay so tbh they're not really worth that much time

I wrote more in my paper 1 mock than i did today!

TaiHusky

That was grand. Chuffed with the poems

Osmosis Jones

Was a nice exam, not that I did well anyway. Only looking for a pass in Irish. Confident I've done that.

nice paper love Oisin i dtir na nOg

I'm not the only one one who skipped the pros?

jazz101

Easy as all hell. Should've predicted Drico to come up but it's not like I needed it. Those 2 comprehensions were easy.

For the comprehensions were we allowed to copy the answer directly from the text?

jazz101

Yep. My teacher encourages us to do that.

Anyone here do the DEB pre paper? I'm sure that was basically the same paper as it besides comprehension 1, even BOD came up in the pre :rolleyes:

They'd know once they open it which paper you've done, and they're all sealed with the other paper 2s so I imagine you're in no trouble..


You seem very accident prone. :pac:

I wrote Irish Paper 2 on the one today but the last day I just wrote Irish. I checked my exam number like 4 times throughout the exam to see if I wrote it right :pac:

The leaving cert has changed me

Funny, the two honours papers were incredibly similar to the mocks too. Exact same Prós and Filíocht, and the essay on the Irish language was almost identical too. It'd make you wonder do the papers get leaked a little. I don't mean the whole paper, but I could imagine someone would let slip what prós might come up for example. I'm not complaining though. :pac:

Really thought I was on route for around a B on that... until I got home and realised I forgot to answer on Colscaradh... I just answered on Geibheann...

Ah well, hopefully I can still pull a C

Anyone else completely waffle the tir na nog question and hurlanaboc? Or was that just me. I only barely knew the stories in english nevermind Irish

jazz101

Same. Wasn't the thing in Hurlamaboc that your one the wife was having an affair? I couldn't think of how to say having an affair so I said she was giving belly to another man.

she wasn't having an affair :eek: was she? I dont remember that it would of made it so much more interesting it was so broing

jazz101

I thought that was why her and the husband didn't get on? Or was that the son who hated her. I don't remember. I just needed to pass Irish, and I was easily doing that, so I never looked at it.

onethreefive

Hurlamaboc's the one where the one is after a spare freezer yeah? I just wrote about her desire for a freezer
