    Anyone else here doing exam attendant?

    I am too, I was originally a substitute but someone went off to Tenerife so I'm replacing her :D It was a bit more boring than I expected today after the heavy labour of moving all the tables and chairs yesterday. I'll have to bring the laptop tomorrow

    In 6th class my desk was right underneath a hole in the ceiling where these tiny spiders would constantly pop out of. Turns out a spider had laid its eggs up there and they were all hatching. I still have nightmares

    I'm doing exam attendant and from what I heard after they came out - frost, montague, Harding and ní chuillean came up, they said on the radio that the predictions were right anyway !

    Yeah it seemed like a really predictable paper! I'm really glad Dickinson didn't make an appearance, she better wait until next year!

    Just because she didn't come up this year doesn't mean she's guaranteed to come up next year! ;)

    Probably slightly more likely, but ...

    I'll probably say this 40 times during the year, but the only way to be absolutely sure you will see a poet you have covered on the paper is to study 5! ;)

    I gambled on Robert Frost like a lot of people. The second everyone opened the paper you could hear the sighs of relief.

    It's all luck really... I gambled on studying Montague alone and he appeared...

    Wouldn't recommend doing that! I was panicking about it, the only way to be safe is do 5! Trust me!

    Well luckily I didn't have to worry about that!

    Just want to reinforce that no one should take chance like I did, you could be lucky like me but I doubt it...

    Merged with the other thread. While I appreciate the enthusiasm, we usually just change the name of the 5th year thread in August. Besides, no need to give everyone a heart attack this early in the year :pac:

    How would one find an expression for the total surface area (internal and external) of a rectangular box.
    I have worked out the expression of the volume and followed the exam in my book but no luck.

    Answer is in attachment, please do ask questions. I did it quickish so there might be a mistake in it.
