Paper 1 was not too bad actually happy enough with the long qsts anyway and most of the short

cfc.forever

Was so happy with the paper espicially the long q's Insurance/People at Work etc and the business letter!

juniorcert

Loved that paper, so easy did anyone else laugh at the last q in the short q, how does lady gaga like her meat done pie chart thing? Lol, I laughed just as the examiner passed and he looked at me as if he thought I was cracking under pressure, haha

MmmPancakes

Lads what did yous get for the budget? I got 6493 I think, I got 2140 for the club accounts

cfc.forever

I forget what I got for the budget and I didn't do club accounts

Lovely paper very fair managed to get five long questions done and happy with all of them.short questions were easy too.hope paper two is of similar difficulty.

claryfray

Thought the long questions were really easy
We hadn't covered some of the stuff that came up in the short q's which was annoying, if it wasn't for them I defo would have an A in P1...
Maybe If I do reallyy well in Paper 2 I'll still be able to get it though..:)

cfc.forever

Gonna learn PL + Balance Sheet/Ratios [already sorted for the rest of paper 2] than I'll be grand :P

OisinLAD

I got 290 in the Club Account.

claryfray

So the topics that came up in the long questions eg. Borrowing, Insurance, People At Work, Economics
there's no chance of them coming up in Paper 2 now, is there? (just checking )

OisinLAD

Yeah I noticed that...

OisinLAD

Whole exam was handy... Paper 2, Question 5 was sweeeeeeeeeeet

CFergus

Was there a mistake in Q4 of paper 1? It only said how much the iPad was insured for and not how much he bought it for/how much it was worth. It made any principle other than Utmost Good Faith work with Q iii).

OisinLAD

Completely forgot about that! I think your right man I was wondering about that myself but I still did the question :P

juniorcert

Loved that paper Both my ledgers and trading accounts balanced This junior cert is turning out much easier than I thought it would be

Brendan97

I was wondering that too! Plus it said something about a cellular being stolen too but there was no price or anything included for that either

Cr4pSnip3r

Extremely easy. So happy with that. Paper 2 was a breeze.

cfc.forever

Paper 1 was my best paper certainly, but my paper 2 was alright but not perfect. It won't be an A for me I rekon, a B.

Principle of insurance could be you must not make a profit off insurance?
Or something along the lines of that

OisinLAD

Indemnity*

ow9654

Yes that's it!
I couldn't name it but explained it to get a few marks atleast...

I was wondering that too. Well I just wrote about the principle of indemnity and subrogation and I wrote that he insured it for the full amount :L

I answered 5 Q's on both papers, knew every answer and both of my accounts balanced...?! Way easier than I expected, I think I should get an A but maybe they will be marked extremely hard because it was so easy and maybe I'll only get a B...:P

OisinLAD

For subjects like business, if you think you've got the A you most likely have.

cfc.forever

If you get an A in Business, I don't know about where you are, but here in Kilkenny, you get an award from WIT and you get to attend a lovely event, goodluck bud.

Oh shoot, haha! I thought it was like a really fancy word for a phone or something Ah well, I only wrote cellular in as a second item so I'll just probably lose a mark or something

Business Higher level more like business Ordinary level.
It was the most easiest paper I have done in my entire life. And knowing the fact I only studied 1st year business, lol
Paper 1 section A, I must admit was kind of hard, I would say I got 55 or 56 points the least.
Section B, LOVED IT !!!
Paper 2 LOVED IT!!!
So far I am quite happy with my predicted results
English D
Maths B
Geog A/B
Business A/B
Cspe A

By the way what did everyone get for the last column(not the shaded one) I think it was net something ?? for budjet

OisinLAD

Now it's "So far I am quite happy with my predicted results"

I got a nervous breakdown yesterday, lol

OisinLAD

Sweeeeet cause that was the only question on the entire paper I wasn't sure about

zubikhan

Lol I found the business question, Q5 in p2 a complete joke, lol

zubikhan

I think that is what I got or I may have gotten 14 thousand something somewhere in the thing I am sure of that much, but when the exam papers are up online I will be able to remember it

OisinLAD

It was a piss take, filling in the names and stuff ( Ann Smyth )

You were not supposed to fill that in..

OisinLAD

Yes you were.

zubikhan

You are not supposed to fill in the shaded box if that is what you mean, ??

As a teacher, I'm not happy overall. The Economics section Q3 paper 1 was a huge let down -- very poorly composed. An easy paper usually means a very tough and demanding marking scheme, that's the only worry :-(

By poorly composed do you mean, too easy ??

zubikhan

Because this has been gone long enough about easy papers and how the marking schemes will be marked
Because if that is the case then I no longer want easy papers !
The hard marking scheme for easy paper, is that always true or is that just a guess

No, you weren't, you didnt need them to to answer the questions after either on the budget.

The better people do, the harder the marking scheme.

I think it's got to do with that curve people talk about. You know, if lots of people do extremely well, they make the marking scheme harder to get more of each grade. Something like that.

Yeah I know, I didn't I only answered them on the paper, not budget
