I've decided Im going to do the 2 studied first, coz they should be "fresh in my mind" and then if I have any time at the end Ill go back to it

Blue_Seas

That's what I did for Paper 1, went straight to the grammar that I had spent all night studying

I think it might be a new shopping centre opening in your area and two reasons why you like it and two reasons why you don't...

Pure guess though!

Probably but it depends if I understand any of it....

Blue_Seas

I might do two from B because there was an excellent set of phrases in the 'Notes' thread about identifying with the character and such XD

For the poem I'm just going to see if I can pick and place stuff straight from the poem :pac:

The Junior Cert is getting easier and easier every year:eek:

Colm!

Unseen Prós: fake mona lisa turns out to be the real thing and some guy had it in his school wtf? I didn't get the story but I did the questions OK.
Studied Prós: An Dúlra + Díoltas An Madra Rua = WIN! shamefully it used the new "ábhar" format which most people aren't used to
Unseen Poems: Answered it . Didn't understand either but the questions were easy.
Studied Poems: OK, this is the difficulty. I got through it grand, but Duine Uaigneach? Has that shown up before? An Tigh Nua got me there though.
Litir: Éasca go leor.

suitcasepink

Unseen Pro: No idea waffled my way through think Ill get *something* outta it
Studied pro: My subjects didnt come up, made up a pile of .... though I think I still did okay coz once you give an account and give some kinda reason why it links in you cant be that wrong?
Unseen poem: I actually think I did alright here, I understood the questions and most the poems
Studied poem: My person half came up :S I wrote a chunk anyway and tried to tie it in... Heres hoping..
Letter: I loved mine :L I wrote about how dathiul the new priomhoide was and how cinealta agus duine sporty!

fiestapower

i mistook "cathrach" for countryside and then wrote about the gaeltacht and all..
i shuda used faoin tuath.
oh well, theres goes my chances of getting a b

Paper 2 really annoyed me!
Why couldn't they just use normal themes

DylanS09

I hate paper 2's....

agree

kevin12345

Studied stuff went great...especially the letter unseen was ok got the poetry qs grand...only answered on one poem didn't get the second poem at all :P the comprehension? BSed my way through it...the ending was interesting and dramatic blah blah blah

Luno

Worst paper ever I feel like crying... The one poem I knew couldn't be used cause all the options were on a duine like wtf?

The seen fiction was even worse the novel we done( Aililiu Bop Siuaidi) didn't fit a single one of the headings and I had nothing as back up!

Poetry was hard the fiction was hard and the letter was the only okay bit but still...

:mad:

mista_2k10

Do you know the part A on the studied pros?, is it true that you can use any theme for that part? , because thats what i did because the themes for part B were absolute S****e i thought

My sister came out of the paper 2 exam crying. </3

I thought it was a horrible paper...
I didn't have anything to fit the themes in the Pro, so I just wrote about An Corp as "life in the country side"...:o

bluejay14

Unseen Pros: not too hard, I understood most of it
Studied Pros: none of the fit "an craiceann agus a luach very well", ended up going with life in the city and combining my two answers of grá and bochtaineacht.
Unseen Poetry: Brilliant all my worrying for nothing, understood most of the 2 poems
Studid poetry: fearg with an t-ozón, I was tempted to go for an Tigh Nua and lonleiness
Letter: Grand.

When I have it all analysed like that it seems to have gone better than I thought it did.:)

You're poor sister:(! Tbh I felt like crying too! It was unfair they've changed the paper enough and then they start messing around with stuff that you're pretty much sure would stay the same!
I was hoping to do well in Irish and all!

mista_2k10

I was actually kinda excited about paper 2 , but feck me that paper 2 was just nonsense :mad:. They better not mark us hard

suitcasepink

I did In Ifreann Glas for the pro thing. Its about 10 guys working in Venezuela in a mine and the natives are killing them and stuff..
I used nature as the theme (absolute nothing else!) It was ridiculous I wrote the account then at the end, there was a lot of people natives and foreigners but all these people are part of nature :L Then some were killed but other died of natural(NATURE) causes..

My correcting persons gonna think Im a pleb...

For the one where you did country life, did you just give a short summary of the story or mention where the countryside was n the story?

basically the same for me exept i did an'tadh for the countryside. the headings for the prose did cause difficulties. Oh, and kevin12345, you were on the ball about the letter just before the exam

I gave a summary & then said where country life was briefly

Guys, doing a post mortem on the exam is not good for ye!:p Ye aren't the only ones who thought the exam was hard-hundreds, maybe thousands of other JCers around the country are probably really, really diappointed with it, and from what I've read, it sounds like it was really hard:(

You need to have a good PMA-positive mental attitude!:) These are the positives ye can take now:
-Ye were able to write something for each question, even if you didn't exactly answer the question, ye will get marks for it
-There are plenty of people just like you all around the country, who found the exam very difficult
-Ye have now finished 4 of your exams!
-It's Friday tomorrow and ye have the whole weekend ahead of ye!

Guys, I'm gonna sound like a hippy saying this but.....BE HAPPY!!:D:);)

Ew ew ew. That Paper 2 was really horrible. The only scéal I knew was "An tAdh", and none of the themes really worked well with that. A lot of people did nature, and talked about the sea, but I did life in the country side...it was a long shot though!

The poetry was impossible! The themes, well they were hardly themes! Did anyone have anything prepared to write about a person...?

Closed ac

That was grand. The themes weren't great on the first look, but I still managed to write a good 3/4 pages.
Letter was really nice, I chose B.
The unseen prós and unseen poetry were tricky, but still managable.

Overall, I'd say I got a B in Irish, which is what I was aiming for.
