    I am dropping to ordinary level Irish tomorrow and I am just wondering how do you do it?? I have Maths paper 2 in the morning and I was thinking of just telling the examiner after the maths exam that i want to do the ordinary level irish paper as the exam is at 2pm! Should I do it that way?? Thank you:):)

    Yeah that'd be fine. Or even just before you do the exam you are still able to change.

    There won't be a problem but say it anyway at 9am, to put your mind at ease. Best of luck tomorrow.

    No, you can refuse the paper and request the OL paper at your desk . And if any examiner would try refuse you they would be in trouble.

    You 100% certain you want to drop it tho?

    There will not be an issue, but be very sure you are aware of any differences on the paper. OL is not just 'HL but easier'.

    No. just say it now before they get busy. Then concentrate on Maths.
