We now have a free period today instead of the free period we would have had on saturday. Yes we will have a different paper but it'll be up to everyone to just deal with it. Stop moaning and just get on with it. Everyone in the entire country is in the same situation. This really isn't that big of a deal in the greater scheme of things. Am I the only Leaving cert student that's not bothered about this at all?

How will this paper be marked? This is a deferred sitting of the Leaving Certificate English examination. The paper will be marked in accordance with the established standard.

leesmom wrote: » at stevo and likely lass email from cian.everyone, I have been inundated with questions for students regarding the new paper. Firstly from what we know about the first paper you should be very happy that you were well prepared. This will still hold true for the new paper. Given the intense media pressure I sincerely doubt that Saturday will be any different. It will be fair. Make sure that you have five poets prepared and that you know your central characters well. Many of you have asked me to put on an extra class. I have checked with the school and unfortunately this is not possible. The rooms are all being used by the state exams commission. Also there would probably be little value in such an exercise as I feel there is little I could say that we have not done already. So, what you need to do now is stay calm. Everyone has been affected by this and SEC will take this into account. I have spoken to my friends who are involved with the examinations process and they assure me that it will be a good paper on Saturday. Needless to say if you need anything please email me. Could you pass this mail on to anyone you know who was in the institute. Best of luck,

Also I wanted choice in the exams even if 2 or 3 of my poets came up. I remember Emily Dickinson came up as everyone predicted so I decided to avoid that question as half the country would be doing it. Instead I did an Eavan Boland question and got 49/50 on poetry in the end.
