I don't think you will accepted ... if you're more than 30mins late the examiner doesn't have to let you in.

No moblies during exams tututu .

I couldn't resist my schools far from my house!! Used my phone for educational purposes haha Lol I'm actually excited for CSPE, the hl maths paper wasn't too bad, think I might have bagged an A or B

DublinArnie

Should I bring colours for CSPE?

cfc.forever

If you decide to do the poster they will be neccessary so I'd bring them just in case don't spend the whole exam colouring though :P if you decide before the exam you're not doing poster question, colours will not be needed.

Do the long questions require any knownledge or just common sense and special waffling skills? I don't even think I have colours around, so maybe i'll just do a proper question .

cfc.forever

The long questions just require you to be able to read the next and answer questions based on the text, some common sense and logic. Don't waffle too much but if you need to waffle and if you don't have the facts, I'm pretty sure you could waffle your way to an A with the long questions lol, goodluck.

Just did CSPE.... I almost died laughing at the first section .. wow. Nothing special about this paper, same as every year . I wish they gave paper because I ran out of space for the last section .

Cr4pSnip3r

That was easy. Obermer was on section 1 :L! Only thing I didn't get was the '2013 European year of c...'. Looking it up, it seems to be citizens. I wrote cat. I had no clue.

MmmPancakes

lol

What an easy exam I stayed there the full hour and a half and at the end, there was only 13 out of about 130 left, lol. What long question did people do? I did q.4, was quite an interesting one to write about actually, haha

I did Q4 too. I wrote a page full for just part a) ...

Cr4pSnip3r

I did Q4 also. I barely even talked about the actual event.

LawdyLad

What a joke of a subject to be quite honest. Answered everything except for 1 or 2 fill the blank questions that I didn't know. I answered Q1 for the poster section and wrote the full amount provided. Easy and hoping for an A but I won't be disappointed if I don't as the subject is utterly pointless

You got extra paper?! The examiner said we don't need any ...

Ya a couple of people did, it says on the paper you can ask for more from the examiner. So the examiner didn't give you anymore paper? That's really unfair :eek:

At the start he said "It says to answer on the booklet. So you won't need any extra paper." ... I ended up making my answers very concise so I can finish them .. ah well. :pac:

Ya they're the two I didn't get either, I said referendum officer so maybe I'll get a half mark. Oh well, only Cspe anyway

examstress

I got nearly that whole section wrong lol (section 1 question 2) Dont think I got my A lol :L

cfc.forever

:O it was return officer I was right.. was unsure on that one and I didn't get 2013 year of C, Q1 was simple, the fill in the blanks were easy, I'm not sure about my Q2 answers, but my long questions were top-notch, guranteed A for me like honestly I put loads of work into the project and flew through the exam

examstress

my project is near perfect but the exam was not A standard......will the A come my way ?

cfc.forever

Buddy if your action project was an A Standard, say for e.g you got 55% thats if your action project was pretty decent, and if you got 55% in the exam, you got yourself an A and it just depends how the marking scheame works

Drift_King_33

Easy exam except for European Year and Voting questions in Section 1

emzana

Did anyone get that fill in the blanks question in Section One I can't remember the question but it was A________ O______?

cfc.forever

You're correct. They were on the page they gave you.

It was the Courts and the Judiciary as one, but I'm sure courts would be fine.

Oh I'm so stupid I didn't even realise that question was on the sheet I thought we had to know it! Hopefully, thank you

cfc.forever

I didn't realise it was on the page either but I said the Court System and An Gardai Siochanna, I feel so dumb but still I got it right anyways :P

what two things do people get by being part of the eu? I guessed and said permission to fish in other EU waters and permission to live in other EU countries for work am i right or wrong?

cfc.forever

That wasn't a question, I don't remember that :c I'll see when the papers are updated to the departments website.

I'm 99% sure that's all good. Instead of fishing, I said a common currency (for the most part).

cfc.forever

Was this in the long question? I'm worried.. as I never seen it.. tell me where it was, please.

It was in the question in Sec 2 about the bridge.

cfc.forever

Oh was that the one with the poster something got to do with a referendum?

Star2000

I didn't study for this and I found it ok. I didnt get the result reader and eu year of the. But everything else was grand. I did all section 2 and q3+ 4 in section 3
