    Well, how'd paper 2 go?

    Well, aside from the fact Jimmy is yet to show his face on either paper, and the fact that they asked a 15 marker on the role of St. Patrick in OITNN, somewhat (hopefully) alright I guess?? :/ Poetry and the question on Gafa were alright for me (though I did spend the morning looking over the life/work of the poets sadly) I don't think that the SEC are going to be getting very happy reviews from the higher level students/teachers anyway!

    Yeah, A Thig Ná Tit Orm was a very restrictive question, only letting you talk about 2 chapters.

    Think I managed it OK though.

    I thought the An Triail question meant she defied the life that was set out for her, but looking back on the paper it seems like that could work as an answer, as really it only said discuss. :o

    In an Irish school and everyone thinks it cost them their A1s, but I mean like poetry, pros and an Triail are only 16%.. It's nothing like!

    The question is worth 30 marks and you answer two of three parts. So each part you do is worth 15 marks.

    F**k I thought we were supposed to answer all 3 parts so presumed those parts were 5/10 at most and wrote about 5-7 sentences for each.

    Oisin came up in 2013 (I think) too, and it was the same as this years, as in there were three options and you answer two. The marking was 13 for best answer out of the two, 12 for the other one and then 5 for Irish, not 15marks each
