wasnt very happy with q 1.... i hate carbohydraates!!
liked social elective q and would have loved the microwave q if i had studied it!
It was a good paper really though if i had known my stuff i woulda done well!

anyone else think it was unfair to have it same day as irish paper 2 !?!
my hands were aching and my head was throbbing!!!

Wasn't too happy with my paper, interior design question was ok! did anyone else run out of time?? our examiner told us to stop like 5 minutes before da end and we started late, really pissed about that!!! our hall is split into two sections and the other side get all their papers before us yet we always have to finish at da same time! Only four more papers left and then i'm free!!!!!!!!

i thought the paper was really hard and yeah i definatly think vauge was the word.
a whole large section on voluntary work was absolutly retarded.
i never saw anythin much bout it in the book
expected a more general topic eg leisure, poverty or work(not just voluntary) thats pretty much screwed me over for the leaving

Thats scary that not many liked the paper :S There is a bit about it tho, in the book I have that is. A lot of the stuff in our book came up on the paper. Its just a matter of studying it well, which is the problem about Home Ec the course is to broad and its hard to study for it.
