Such a strong feeling that
Section A- either Plato or the Sophists.
Section C - interfaith dialogue
Section B - is so vast
and I did religion and gender- section E- and I've a feeling it will be the 2/4 schools thought/ two studied women

Anyone else have any more predictions? For section J in particular if you're doing that section?

Thought that was a fair exam what did anyone else think? Section j was grand

Tables

Guessing by the lack of posts on the Pre-Religion exam thread this thread probab won't set the world alight with its popularity, but there isn't anywhere for us poor unfortunates that finished on the last day to vent our distress or happiness with the exam that prolonged our Leaving Certs, so I thought I would make it.I'll start with what I thought of the exam.

Generally I felt it was a great paper, and im very happy with how I think I got on.

Section A.
I did question 2, as most probably did, I was surprised there wasn't any philosophers (namely Plato) or the Sophists on the paper. Seeing as how the Sophists and Plato were fairly widely anticipated it would make sense they left them off, although the dogs on the street knew Aristotle was gonna come up last year, and that didn't stop them putting him on. All in all I feel the questions on the section were fine and hopefully I get the grade on them that I think I should get.

Section C
Global distribution question was a gift of 20 marks, in my case anyway. I knew all the percentages and countries purely by fluke of having glanced at it the night before.
The origins question was one I didn't study but luckily enough being a repeat I just so happened to remember the origins of Scientology pretty well, so I could get a page and a half out on it with a reasonable level of waffle.
The interfaith dialogue question was another widely anticipated one, and was fine.

Section D
Moral failure questions were pretty topical I suppose and certainly allowed you to use your own examples, which I think most would appreciate.
The moral maturity question was just as wide in its scope for personal examples and such. It's a fairly important question to go over in class so I think most would have been OK for it.

Section E
I was really disappointed no women theologians came up but the gender roles question went probably just as well for me. I would have appreciated 2 40 mark questions instead of the single 80 mark but it wasn't too problematic.

So that's my opinion on the paper and how it went for me. All in all im happy that I did the subject, even if it did extend my Leaving Cert by a week, it certainly is an exam that went well for me. How was it for you?
