***2015 LC Irish Paper 2 - Higher Level - June 9th***

Magnate

How'd it go for everyone?

Thought it was a lovely exam myself, Cáca Milis & Colscaradh as predicted

Honestly I wasn't planning on counting Irish but it seems to have gone really well overall, so might scrape a B!

What was the question on an Lasair Choille?

Maidhhc was a bit specific, unfortunately. All the incidents I had learned off I couldn't use.

But the rest was grand !

Poor Ordinary Level got the same prose as last year.

I didn't even understand what the Lasair choille question meant..

Paper was grand apart from the Maidhc question.

I thought the paper was was lovely. I didn't think the Maidbc Dainín question was too bad. The comprehensions were fine as well.

Reading comprehension deemed really easy compared to previous years.

Pros and poetry was nice.

An Triail was okay, didn't expect another character question. Quite annoyed with myself as I had notes on the brothers written out, but I decided not to learn them.

Music and football being his favourite hobbies.

The grammar question for the Youth group thing was difficult I thought but apart from that the comprehensions were lovely.

My daughter thought it was grand paper but was surprised to see Colmain on the paper her teacher had said he wouldn't come up because of the controversy !!! Was anyone else told this?

i completely disregarded it as he is on the course. If that was a problem it wouldnt have been put on in the first place.

- first reading was incredibly easy
- second was harder, had to take alot of it and change words but for those with basic understanding of verbs easy, grammar question got me now. present tense verb i was looking for it for a while tbh, the genre question i forgot to study so just said piosa tuairsciuil which i think means something
- poetry + prose + extra poetry: predicted came up in all sections which amazed me and questions were incredibly easy.

Overall p1 and p2 was the easiest i think possible for us and am very happy.

If a piece of literature is on the syllabus, it can come up.

it will hit pretty hard imo, then again there is only a certain amount going for grammar in each section so as long as irish is good youll be ok

I doubt it would hit hard at all to be honest. If his/her Irish is decent overall they will probably realise it's because he was typing. I can't imagine it having a fundamental impact on overall grade . Don't worry about it lad/lady!

Higher Level was a beaut of a paper.
So straight forward, and as predicted.
Comprehensions didn't pose any major problems, even the grammar questions were obvious.
Couldn't fault it.
