Old Leaving Cert Maths HL Papers

alan4cult · 09-02-2008 11:19pm #1

Hi,

Does anybody have old leaving cert HL maths papers that they could send me or e-mail to me. I'd be looking for papers from 1993 and before. I can't find them anywhere because they are the old course and are not available anymore, but I'm sure somebody has them lying around somewhere.

Thanks.

i have some old Applied Maths LC papers from like '87-> '90, if you do applied maths? but i've never seen any maths papers from before 2002. Teachers who have been around for a while might have copies of the papers, so maybe ask a maths techer in your school.

Yes i do applied maths but I have all the papers from 1983-2007 so I'm sorted unless you have any pre-1983?

I have some questions from the late 70's methinks, not full papers though.. mainly calculus, my teacher was fond of giving ancient differentiation questions and the like.. I can post them or something if you want?

Was it not around 1993 that the course was changed?

Would appear so!

Yup, I should really read the entire thread before replying ><

Begs the question of what advantage they'll be at all, if it's the old course...

The course was a whole different ball game before 1993 and to be honest, your wasting your time bothering with them. Ask your teachers for mock lc papers from last few years if you want to have more practice with stuff. The leaving cert could pull anything out of the bag that you not see in a past paper all the same.

Almost every year the department have taken questions from the old course and put them on the papers. It happens in vectors, calculus and probably more. I'm not trying to memorise every past paper but the most difficult questions on the papers have being set previously in the pre-1993 papers. I have every question done since 1994 and I want to minimise surprises on the exam day.

and plus, the maths was a better standard back then so if you can do questions from teh early nineties you are sorted for the leaving.

It's a maths exam! You should be aiming to be able to deal with any surprises, not over-preparing. And you do have other subjects to think about. I mean if you've done every LC question at your disposal, you're as ready for it as you'll ever be.

I did a lot of the questions while I was in 5th year so it doesn't really take up my time anymore. I'm not looking for more questions to do I just want to see some of the older papers and grasp the standard. In fact, I spend very little time on maths anymore as I'm more concentrated in doing well in English.
