seriously look into the dispensation thing, dont depend on it to raise you up a lot of points but if you missed your first choice by 10-20 points they would probably show leniency

Have you told this to the exam secretary in the school? You may not get leniency in marks, but you'll probably get a room on your own to do your exam in. This might help relieve some of the pressure.

Honestly I don't feel sorry for any of you to be honest. I've been through it before. It's a personal thing. How well you do is based on how well you've worked these past 2 years.

A change in paper or whatever is not going to stop everyone feeling sorry for all LC students. Life goes on. Deal with it.

Make all the petitions you want but nobody bar those who sign it will pay attention to it.

Do you not even feel a tad sorry for them, Like teachers work up to a certain exam saying this is predicted, this should come up etc etc.. and when people got news that yes what was predicted did come up they were gutted that they could have done well, but now all the stress and the fear of the unknown has taken over because no-one knows for certain how a new paper really works, is it closely related to the original? is it totally different? people only know what they see on this, and none of this can be taken as gods honest truth, even if people are trying to do their best in helping.
I agree petitions probably wont do verymuch except show the government you are annoyed, but they have bigger things that they are dealing with..
The english course is long tedious and to alot of people boring so most people will take the hints and just study what is expected and they will concentrate hard on that so yes they have worked for the last two years, doen't mean if something totally different and horrible comes up they'll be fine...

It makes no difference if the paper is changed.

Everyone taking the test may do slightly poorer than if they had taken the origional.

This is irrelivant because at the end of the day, the marking scheme is tweaked so that a certain number of people get As, a certains number get Bs etc etc and a certain number fail.

When you take all the As, Bs, Cs, Ds and so on from all of the students over the country and place them on a graph, you get a certain curve.

The supervising examiners want to see this exact same curve every year.

Therefore you are pretty certain to get the same mark you would have gotten if the exam wasn't leaked.

I know this because I have a parent who is one of these supervising examiners and I help each summer in verifiying calculations etc. I've seen how it works.

Maybe you'd be able get special dispensation considering your situation? Maybe not, but might be worth checking out.

Just when we thought the country couldn't be anymore pathetic.
It's a real kick in the face if I'm honest.

It's no wonder everyone's leaving the bloody place.

Just relax. Sorry about your grandmother. Things like that are really hard so just stay calm and remember that exams aren't the be all and end all.

I'm just saying that people are really blowing this out of proportion. An extra day of study handed free to you. Sure the exam is on a Saturday but it wouldn't have made a difference because the majority of people would be studying at that time anyway so what's the difference?

I'm sick SICK of studying tho. Really sick of it. Wud rather have just sat the ppr tomorrow. Have to study friday nite now aswell. Was lookin forward to a free friday and then a weekend of hard work. That's a bit ****ed tho now isn't it.

The examiner's all collected a huge test for their centre the other day at a big meeting thing. ALL the papers are in this chest for the duration of the exams and only the supervisor has the key, they are responcible for organising them in the box so each paper is arranged in order of when it is on, the envelopes of the exams in the morning are a different colour to those in the evening you may notice. They are NOT stored in the post office or a garda station - bull.

It depends. Some schools have a secure storage facility, some leave them in the Garda station. Obviously, the school is handier for the superintendent (I've done it).

You couldnt write this. Im glad i never had the choice of ty anyway. Im not surprised with the reactions either even if some seem over the top this has to be messing with peoples heads. I wouldnt think the back up paper would be all that different. One or two of the poets may change but not all four surely. Best thing to do is try and get some sleep as hard as it might be.

Alright lads, can we please not have any more "Haha" images or any more comments like "Leaving Cert - LOL" People here are stressed enough as it is, we don't need anyone taking the piss and rubbing it in peoples' faces.
