    The paper was grand, easiest one yet as I expected. Not enough Ban Ki Moon though. :(

    Still, four out of five who sat it won't get an A. It's the one that bites folk in the bum.

    Im sorry but its CSPE, does anyone actually care if they get an A? I mean it would be nice but really In my opinion it really just doesn't matter, and from talking with my parents and even my teachers they feel the same way :P

    Of course in the long term nobody cares, but a large number of people believe an A in CSPE is a dead cert.. It's not.

    In my school, the only motivation to do well in CSPE is because you get slagged off if you don't :P

    Well they can't have everyone getting As. They have to differentiate high achieving students to the not so. It's not that easy to get an A considering there's only 90 marks in the paper. But it is only 40% of your overall grade, but still.

    What was the question on the paper that had to be scratched out?

    Page 6 Question 2 (B)(i)
    It was the question on the leaflet based on An Garda Siochana and how to prevent burglaries.
    The question was "What time do most burglaries occur?", I think.
    The leaflet didn't mention a specific time, but it did say "in winter". That's probably why we had to cross it out.
