In doing so, they provide some sort of experience of LC examinations. The fact that what was on the exam papers came up in the mocks, is just pure chance. The exam papers, and backup papers, were made up long before the mocks were held. They won't be changing anything on the paper, it was made for a reason and it's not being changed. What's on it? Who knows.

The superintendent gave out the wrong paper, simple as. 5. Having it on Saturday is the fairest thing to do. They couldn't change the entire exam timetable. Neither could they hold it at the end of the exams as it would delay the entire Leaving Cert results, by weeks possibly. 8. Anybody who narrowed down his/her study to 2 poets and one Macbeth essay was asking for trouble. and breathe... You've a day off tomorrow guys, some of you. Use it to study instead of posting threats/conspiracies/wild guesses. btw I correct and this will probably postpone the conference and the marking (and my holiday plans). My colleagues have to come in on Saturday. Teachers are raging too! Good luck

If you haven't studied for the paper then that's your own fault. You've now got extra time to study for it which is something you don't get too often. There's other exams you have to deal with. Not just English. And remember just because you've no exam tomorrow morning doesn't mean you should lie in. Use what would have been exam time to study for that paper.

Twinkle-star15 wrote: » The contingency paper was written ages ago though! They can't just change it now right? If both the mock papers had those exact poets and they didn't change them on the real paper, then I don't think that's going to make them change the new one. Only the questions we'll be asked on them are different

Also, the first few pages of this thread are hilarious with everyone claiming that a leak could definitely not have happened. Awesome. Does anyone know whereabouts in Louth the leak happened?
