    Our teacher is convinced (although I've no clue where he got it from) that for the 30mark questions you've to make 15 2mark points and for the 80mark questions you've to make 40 2mark questions. Is this true? He's pretty thick and that seems a bit much, especially on the 80marker...

    i dont see how ya'd get 40 points..though depends what they count as a point i suppose.
    my geog teacher ran through the field study marking scheme with us today (there was an igeog leaving cert inservice the other day-maybe thats where your teacher got it? though i hope not because 40 points is madness)
    i know its nine relevent points for each task in the field study ansd you do two tasks.

    If you check the gov. education website you might be able to find out, they have marking schemes for exams, past papers, etc. Might help

    I've checked it out. The marking scheme is on skool.ie, in the senior section. Just click on geography. It is the new course one
