** LC Irish 2017 - discussion

Oh my godddd here I was thinking we'd get an awful paper after yesterday!
Cannot believe Géibheann pulled through for us

carefulnowted

I have no words for how beautiful that paper was

Nyctolust

As soon as I flicked through the paper and saw the words "Hurlamaboc" and "Géibheann" I just had to sit there and smile at my paper for a little while hahahaha
Same with the comprehensions, I knew both those areas would come up on either paper somehow and they were so good

Talking about Pádraig being a lying dick, essentially.

Thanks for reply. Plenty to say on that so

Anyone know what came up as prose and poetry on OL?

Security breach - LC Irish HL Paper 2 appeared on a Facebook page shortly after exam began.

Sounds like it won't affect students.

A spokesman for SEC said it appeared to have been posted after students received their papers, posing little risk to the integrity of the exam.

However, he said the commission was keen to “get to the bottom” of how the paper was shared online.

Cáca Milis and Hurlamaboc, I think, for prose anyway

I'd say an Irish teacher was superintending and took a picture of the exam and sent it to the group.

From what I heard it was a proper scan of the paper

^ What an absolute fool, couldn't wait until 12:30 like everyone else :rolleyes:

Liordi

Ah well! It was a fairly nice paper, very predictable as well. Hoping that I scraped a H2!

What's the issue? Aren't students allowed take out the exam after 30 minutes? No student is allowed enter the exam more than 30 minutes late. Why couldn't it be shared after the 30 minute mark?

Talk about a predictable paper. Everything I wanted in both Paper 1 and Paper 2 came up. I think we've been very lucky this year

There isn't a huge issue really, but normal rules would say paper should only be published after the exam is finished.

I think it's a bit unrealistic to allow a paper out of the room but expect it not to be shared. Seems like a bad rule to me.

randylonghorn

If memory serves, the rule also says that the paper shouldn't be allowed out of the room until the end of the exam, but it tends not to be enforced too strictly.

Out of curiousity, what characteristics did people say torn A Thig Ná Tit Orm?

We were told you can it's not like a debate you could take two sides or justhe what every suits and can dis agree once you have information to back it up and for that essay it was easier to disagree
