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.

challengemaster wrote: » Firstly, Mocks have nothing to do with the actual state exams (Leaving Cert). They are made up by a group of people with the intention of making money, first and foremost. 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.

What happened today is an absolute disgrace and the State Examinations Commission should be ashamed. I do feel sorry for the Supervisor though. It was inevitable to happen one day. HE SHOULD NOT BE SACKED. Those contingency papers should have been secretly sent out. I mean the SEC had all day!!! But to keep to point... todays happenings is precisely why the A-Levels should be a real alternative to exam students in the Republic of Ireland. I say well done to The <People I keep pimping> for in a way, rebelling against a tired system. All Universities/IT's accept them so why not make them an alternative. As Barack Obama has said many a time 'We need CHANGE'

Great I've got extratime now to study for an exam I'd studied for today, but now I've to go and learn new stuff along with going over Maths Paper 1 and Geography.
Well personnally I'm having a lie in tomorrow as well I'm being bombarded with 4 days out of 5 nearly full of exams and/or study.
Good luck to the rest of you, and F**K ENGLISH PAPER 2.:cool:

I've spent this evening on the phone speaking to some of my HL students, who I genuinely give a crap about. This is a huge mistake, I'm raging too, but sh#t happens, you have to get on with it...in life and exams.
