Unfortunately, life is often unfair, but a courageous attitude when shit happens will often bring us further, in life and even in work, than the LC ever will.
/offers neck :pac:
Completely agreed with you there ! Points like that would certainly get you an A in paper one. What you say there is certainly a lot more insightful than my amazing "There is a time and place for everything, and its called college" conclusion for paper one !
I just hope my friends will pull themselves together !

Hi,
so i did my leaving cert a good few years ago. i feel for you all now. but dont let this situation get to you, i speak from experience.
i n my classmates had to sit a contingency paper during the exams due to a fire during the original paper.
at the time there was initially -uncertainty as to us re-sitting, then knowing the paper was perfect n we were well prepared for it.
it affected other exams in the days following and now i realised i should have said what happened is out of my hands, n concentrated on the paper of that day.
for those of u saying the paper will have totally different subjects.
on the contingency paper i got ( it was a different subject) the topics were more or less the same, what was different was the wording and i wished i had spent more time reading the questions.
that goes with any paper but just make sure u read the questions n beware that it may be the same topic but be asking for different questions,
the core syllabus will still be the same as it will like the original paper be based on what came up in previous years and what didnt,
stick to what u know.
english is about fluidity , reasoning and rounded writing. you will be able to adapt to it, i wouldnt bother spending excess time reading up on new quotes. etc. you should be able to work with what u have,
anyway thats just my advice.
oh n maybe dont spend too much time agonising over it n reading stuff like this, it[ll only stress you out.
good luck with it

That I really do get. So do lots of others. It's why a few of us volunteered to help out in here for a while when this happened.I completely understand, I was just trying to point out how big a deal this can seem to those sitting it currently.
Actually ... >_>I'm sure you can remember the stress.
Tbh, dude, I was so bored with LC by the time I reached it, after working my ass off for two years, that I was completely calm. Probably too calm, in fact.
But yes, I think something like this would have caused a blip on the screen ...
I think you're spot on there, actually ...The fact is; alot of people have plans, and usually the type of people who make plans are exaclty the type who hate and fear them being altered.
Oh, I know someone like you!Personally, I know exactly what I want to do study-wise for the next 6 years.
/squints
Do you have ginger hair?! :pac:
Ofc, it's nerves, you'll experience it before any big event. It gets the adrenalin flowing.... there exists the last minute doubtfulness that can turn us all a bit mad sometimes.
Just don't let it get into the driving seat ... 0 -

Just finished maths paper 1 and Tbh im now looking foward to the enilish on saterday. I've studied the poets that were on the orignal paper 2 as at least two of them are bound to come up on the new paper and im pretttttyyyy ok with the rest of the questions. I no im not going to get an A1 but im prety relaxed about the whole thing. Theres no point getting too stressed out about all the sh*t thats gone on over them in Louth. Just try to do what im doing, relax and do the test to the best of your abbilities (abbilities ??)(cant spell) and im sure we will ALL do just fine ......
