They said on tonight's News that this cock-up was unprecedented but there have been similiar before. In 1969 the English and Maths papers were stolen from the Dept of Ed couple of days before the exams, and the story broke the morning the exams started. Students had to sit the exams, then wait to see what was going to happen, then re-sit Maths and English after the whole LC was over. It was well into July before the whole thing was done. Thought we would never see the end of it! :eek:.

Yeah according to RTE news at 9 o'clock the examiner didn't seem to say anthing, it was through Twitter that the word was spread and the SEC found out.. What if twitter and other social networking sites wern't invented?? Would Louth have known the paper and the rest of Ireland not??
So much for the honesty of the examiner.. (remember this is only what the news seems to say)

nah all the students would have known anyway which would have been good if you believed it, phones! my friend rang me to tell me about it, her cousin is from droghdea or something

Seriously, people who are doing your Leaving. Why would you still be up now just to moan and panic and worry about what's happened?

GO TO BED, get up early, and study that extra poet. Oh, and I'm not buying the whole it's messing my study up. How is that possible? Whatever you were going to do Saturday morning do tomorrow morning instead!

Ah, yes, a petition, just what we need and it hasn't been suggested before! Hurrah:rolleyes:

The State Exams Commission are sitting up right now, breathlessly awaiting your petition and accompanying suggestions for an alternative timetable:rolleyes:

Go to bed, get up early and study instead of wasting your time!!

I don't think they knew right away. Apparently they found out through twitter updates! There would be a serious amount of printing, binding and delivery involved.

She said no, it will be more or less the same, but with slight differences. Obviously this is extremely vague, however i took it as this:

The poets will most likely be the same

The comparitive, i would probably look at GVV and Cultural Context

Macbeth is where the differences may come, i would look at a character question for this

That's a huge relief anyway. I love you for posting that

Okay, as i have something of a vested interest in this years exams, given that i have spent the last 2 years tutoring LC students on the English, i happened to take a chance and i rang the junior press officer for the SEC.

I told her who i was and that i was not looking for hints as to what was on the replacement paper, but just to know was it going to be the polar opposite of the leaked paper. She said no, it will be more or less the same, but with slight differences. Obviously this is extremely vague, however i took it as this:

The poets will most likely be the same

The comparitive, i would probably look at GVV and Cultural Context

Macbeth is where the differences may come, i would look at a character question for this

I wish i had more to impart, but all i can say is that in general, a contigencey plan is based on the original, and in the event of a back-up paper needing to be used, it will be sufficently different that in the event of the original being compromised, it wont guarantee an automatic A for the entire country(word of mouth etc).

However, it will be sufficently similiar aswell, because as mentioned earlier, almost every teacher of higher level English bases their teaching methods on predicting what is likely to come up on the paper, and while the SEC is interested in testing the potential of the examinees, they do not want to screw them over entirely.

Best of luck to all who are doing their exams, and try not to stress because of this, you now have an extra full day of study.....use it wisely.

Cheers for that. A helpful post amidst a plethora of face-biting crap.

I don't get why they couldn't have had the 2nd paper printed and out to every centre by tomorrow morning. they knew as soon as paper 1 was over I presume. they would have been up all night probably but so what?

This is probably the millionth time I've said this :P
Government couriers distribute the papers. Not enough of them to get around the entire country, and to islands like Árainn Mhór, Inis Mór..
They can't be delievered by An Post or whatever incase some gob****e leaks the paper :rolleyes:
