Had they not ****ed around with the timetable, and had it like it was in the good old days (pre-2008), they could have just kept you all under supervision between the two papers.

is this making any other institute people think Denis creaven is the most amazing man in the world??? I asked him a few weeks ago what he thought was gonna come up for macbeth he told me "I see Banquo coming up maybe deception" then he said every poet that was on the paper

Im just after realising the irony in the fact that I wrote a 3 and a bit page speech praising science and TECHNOLOGY and how the internet has made all our lives easier.

The thing about asking what was on the paper that was shown is that you could have people saying what they 'think' was on it etc.
So probably best to ignore most of that and just get on with the study. Things may or may not be completely different to the paper that was handed out. It could be very similar infact. No point panicing and rushing to study stuff you don't already know.

Jim luzby has just been on 2fm there. He says that the marking scheme will NOT be changed, to maintain the integrity of exams. He also said that there wont be a major change in the poets, just maybe the questions.

Erm, the text that I got said nothing about GVVP or Banquo but the rest is the same.

I still don't understand how they managed to give them out..

They're supposed to double check everything and get two students to do the same $:\$

Total incompetence by this person. My dad is a superintendent and on the literature given out by the department, it warns time and time again to double check EVERYTHING that you're handing out - If you're sure, check again in other words.

They will have been sacked from supervision immediately and never allowed supervise again. I've seen on another thread that he/she is due to retire this year, so he/she mightn't have to face the shame of going into work in September.

Anyone getting the texts about asking them to move it to saturday week? that would be so much better and they should be trying to help the students out

Having it on the 13th would be pretty epic, a lot of people would have their main exams over by then. I can't see it happening though, since they have the paper ready to go.

I really don't think they're going to change the date of the exam, they will have plan B strategies for situations just like this so they're not going to change the date again.

This is the story I heard:

The superintendent handed out the papers.
He/She realised her mistake.
She took the papers back up and told the students to keep it to themselves.
One student told her mother what had happened.
The mother subsequently contacted the Department.

kinda hoping this is true, hopefully the miserable cretin of an examiner will get in more trouble for not "respecting the integrity of the exam"

Tbh the people who aren't doing the LC this year and complaining that we are blowing it out of a proportions can f*ck off back to AH as they have no idea what we are going through at the moment. The others that sympathise with us though are very welcome.

Gotta pick up the pieces today and try pick out logical alternatives.

Agreed…………. Morning after I'm mellowed out.:pac:

This will bring down the top students and bring up the average students as it will be marked less cruel

This kinda thing has happened before but the internet age has caused it to be canceled

God I really feel for all you LCers having to do the English paper on Saturday. Best of luck.

When my dad did his leaving (1969 or 70 I think), the English paper 1 was leaked and then the Irish Independent published it on the front page of the paper that morning. Of course, not everyone got to see it and communications were slower than now, so everyone had to go in and do the exam as normal, and then sit ANOTHER english paper 1 at the end of the exams.

So it's not exactly the first time it's happened.
