    cant wait for irish. i havent been to a class since february sometime me and the teacher didnt see eye to eye mostly because she is a f*cking idiot.

    did well in the pre and got quality notes for pros and poetry. the tape is handy for marks

    I'm doing

    The sceal and the Letter

    If I have time left over [which I will] I'll do the short essay.
    It's such an easy exam

    Have startings and endings prepared for both the letter and story and make sure you add in a few sentences about the weather to boost your marks in each case.

    They're actually looking for more irish rather than relevence

    Paper 2 is 18%, please don't be stupid enough not to go to it, it's easy to get marks. Even if you can't do the questions just summarise the poem or story with very simple Irish required.

    Don't leave out paper two whatever ye do. That's so stupid. I'd say even if you wrote down one sentence for each question with some random quote you'd come of with at least 35 marks out of 110.

    It's simple - just learn the mothuchan for each poems and the themes for the stories and make sure you put in quotes which are RIGHT INFRONT of you for the poetry.
