    I was actually grand for the first three questions in maths but after that everything went downhill, why do they have to make everything so unnecessarily complicated?
    I have no will to study for Irish tomorrow, it's basically one question like

    If your school uses DEB mock papers then beware the horrific aural!

    ffs. Hate how you only hear it twice as well, completely messes with the system I use for french aurals. Why can't everything just be more like French? ;_;

    What did you think of irish? :D Ahhh right, decent motto I suppose, it could be worse :D
    I thought Irish went well enough for me. Was the first proper oral we ever did so 31/40 was alright. I really want to pull a B out of it :)

    The one with
    First Lesson, or that one with the girl wanting independence or whatever
    as the unseen poem? Lovely paper through and through!!

    Maths paper 1 was fine today, but then again, I'm also a maths nerd :p so roll on paper 2!

    Not feeling good about Irish paper 1 though... begging for culu eacnamiochta or eisimirce... something I can work that into anyway!

    So you wrote a page every 9 minutes 45 seconds? That's ridiculous.

    Basically I never, and I mean never, lifted my hand from the page. Just kept writing and writing and writing. My wrist is actually in ridiculous pain now though. You should have seen the attendants face when I went up asking for my 3rd exam booklet, :P. Got soo many stares walking across the hall to get the extra paper! Ha, was priceless actually!

    I do love English though, knew the stuff that came up really well and just kept going like! :P.. My comparative (Literary Genre) was 7 pages, Hamlet was 7 pages, Larkin was 5.5 pages and my unseen poem was a page!

    Would love a paper like that in June! Appeared to be the only one in my school to do the Philip Larkin poetry question,everyone did Heaney it seemed! Did many on here do the Larkin Question?

    I'm one of those people who write terribly slow (usually the last person writing in exams) so this crushes my spirit. :(

    I'm a lefty so I'm usually quite slow, but I was so desperate to get a good grade in English that I learnt the stuff really well and just forced myself through the pain!

    That sounds so melodramatic but it actually was a painful experience! I'm going to go soak my wrist for a while later, currently correcting an LCVP paper, have Irish Paper II and it tomorrow! :/.

    I'm actually so tired it's not funny. Got sent home from study because the supervisor told me I looked burnt out. I need sleep. It's nine pm and I'm settling down for the night.

    Was it the one about
    World War I and World War II
    ? That was DEB. It was horrific. And when the Donegal people started speaking I just threw myself down on the ground and tried to kill myself. No joke! :rolleyes:

    French aural on the other hand was one of the easiest I've done, pretty confident for an A1 in that!


    Guys, keep specific references to the Mocks thread please, and spoiler them.

    Where does it say the company?? We'd the Irish tape test today but there was no sign of a company on it? :( If anybody knows the company, the first piece was in a Northern Ireland accent!? :)
