    Leaving Cert maths exam tomorrow and I decided to drop to foundation, heard off a few people that the paper has changed in the past year or 2. Not sure what to expect/study for it, anyone have advice or in a similar situation?

    Same here. I questions to be worded cofusingly.

    So many questions were about area and depth etc..we never covered that in class. I used logic to come up with answers that at the time felt were right though. i may still get the B i aimed for

    Same, some questions were worded in such a way that they were over simplified. Had me asking myself are they really asking me that ? No couldnt be, it must be something more complicated. Way to much on area and volume. Very little on percentages and vat type questions which i was hoping for.

    I didn't find it difficult, just stuff came up that i didn't anticipate and didnt learn how to do volume etc. Im sure ill get a B just about.

    I was contemplating OL myself but judging by the stuff that came up, i feel i could have failed
