    Same prose

    Same poetry

    Same tape, but with easier questions.

    You won't have to do an triail or whatever play ye were gonna do.

    It's basically the same course.

    The difference between the two is ridiculous IMO.

    I would advise anybody who can get a d3 in honours to do honours.

    A d2 is worth the same points as an A in pass.

    And it's almost impossible to get an a the way the oral is done

    Oh thank you :)
    So basically they're the same but there's no studied play. I am able to manage a D in HL but I'm spending too much time on Irish and I dont have time to study my other subjects. I'm sure if I really should put a lot time on Irish. What's your opinion?

    Depends on how many points you need?

    Is there any chance you'll want to do a college course that requires irish?

    Like primary teaching?

    If you drop to pass and don't put in work you'll probabaly get a c, which will be worth feck all points to you
