First Irish Exam (Jan '08) - Materials Needed!

    I'm thinking of sitting the Law Society's First Irish Exam in January and I have a few questions for any of you that have already done it.

    1. Materials - I don't have any of the materials mentioned in the syllabus. Do any of you know where I can buy, copy or otherwise obtain these? Griffith have a pack advertised for €75. Does it have everything I need, is it worth it and are there cheaper options?

    2. Past Papers - The Law Society website has some past papers available. However, it only has one entry for "1st Irish Examination". Does this mean they only have the latest paper and have exam reports? Do I even need them?


    Is fuath liom an teanga seo. Here's hoping the exam's as easy as everyone says.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    I borrowed the GCD book from a friend who had done it the year before. It had everything needed, incl past papers if I remember correctly.

    I would say you def need some form of revision aid, whether that be the GCD one or one from somewhere else. Best of luck with it! Slan (thats about the only Irish I remember nowadays:D).

    i got the manual from a friend aswell, everything u need is in it, exam is seriously handy, if u have the manual u wont need classes, just look at the past papers, learn off the stuff and write it out in the exam. get a few phrases together for the oral

    Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll definately have a look for that manual now.

    @Tombrem: Where can i get the past papers? The Law Society website is very confusing in this regard.

    My Irish was terrible in school and is non existant now. I passed the exam back in January. I looked over one past paper and had a quick sketch at the extracts from Rotha Mor O Saoil.

    Were it not for my oral being on at the same time as the written exam, I would have been out of the exam hall in the minimum time.

    If you can string a few sentences together, you can go in blind. Otherwise by all means do pointless preparation for an exam that isn't graded in anyway.
