The business papers overall are fine for those dreading them.

I had Irish 1 & 2 today and they overall were fine.

Tomorrow I have Maths 2 for which I should be okay (though I need to revise theorems 7 - 10, thankfully though I did learn them so I just need to refresh).

WanderingSoul · 08-02-2010 06:47PM

I had an English paper by a different company to you, pad.

Yea I had a different one too.

I had the same English paper as you Padocon
Had English Paper 1 and Science today. The English wasn't too bad. The science was brilliant though, I knew nearly every question

Got 95% in my Christmas test and 97% last summer, so I'm really confident in it. Sadly, I can't say the same for the English...

I thought English 1 was alright, but not brilliant.

suitcasepink · 08-02-2010 10:05PM

Im not asking what actually came up for anyone who did it but..
For buisness paper 1 is there a difference between the section b questions and the paper 2 questions?
For example say club accounts, would that only come up on one paper or could it come on both? Or budgets, economic framework etc.. Or could you get the same question(worded and figures different) on the two papers?
I should have asked this when the exam is no the next day..

Which Essay did ye do? It thought the titles were only ok.

Oh padocon thanks for the heads up !

It is as much of a heads up as know the paper is printed in black and white.

We all know if people want to find out what is on a mock paper they ask a cousin or friend of a friend (we all have them) in another school and even if you don't want to know you have to because it is being shouted across the class.

As Jack pointed out there is no rule not allowing a discussion. Unless the OP does not want it I see no reason to hold back but Please use spoilers.

Generally on paper 1 every thing's from a more personal/national view whereas on paper 2 it's from a business point of view. If you have a look on revisewise.ie it tells you everything that could come up on either paper.

But it is usually a mix? Like you cant say budgets(just an example) are paper 2 only, they could come up in any.

Thanks!

Maths paper 2 went okay for me.. I guessed the theorem that would come up and I was right
And then one of the small ones. I hae to say i hated theorems I never properly learned them before now but the first 6 anyway(and the next two) they're not that bad once you learn the diagram you can do the proof
Geography was grand too, I like geo though coz for alot the the social and economics geography you kinda kinda make us as you go along! :pac:
Business paper 1 and 2 tomorrow

My maths paper 2 didn't go so well.It'll just drag down my score from paper 1:(.I kept thinking of all that maths talk from C+H nad getting really confused.

Geography went well though but the fire alarm went off 5 times during it becasuse the school was being rewired and people kept setting it off:mad:

I'm not really looking forward to both business papers tomorrow though.

Closed ac · 09-02-2010 05:41PM

Had my Spanish Listening today, was so simple!

Maths & English P1 tomorrow..

padocon · 09-02-2010 05:53PM

2 of our teachers decided they would try to learn how to bind something. They decided to bring the binder in and make lots of noise while laughing. This makes it hard to concentrate during an exam.

I had the same as ye too. Did it today and wrote 21 pages over the two papers. The essays were alright, i did the one of write a composition including "mmm again". I don't want to say the full question to help anyone.

bluejay14 · 09-02-2010 05:55PM

Having Mumford&Sons stuck in your head makes it very hard to concentrate when trying to explain the formation of a feature while trying to block out the sound of the new fire alarm.

suitcasepink · 09-02-2010 06:14PM

Yea I wrote 20 pages altogether for english..
Bluejay I was being slightly optimistic. :pac: It was okay not amazing!

Business the typical questions came up but I completely forgot the layouts for them. Doesn't help that we havnt touched ledgers and done a bit of book-keeping.:mad: By the way thats not a hint book keeping/ledgers always come up.
French and History tomorrow, im kinda worried not too much though. Our history teacher said anyone that gets under 60% has to move down to pass though

Luno · 09-02-2010 06:36PM

A lot of people had the same english paper as myself.

Thought it was nice, nothing complicated except my essay I done the last option and ended up writing about something completly different!

CookieMonster.x · 09-02-2010 06:40PM

Maths p2 was a disaster. Didn't get it finished

French was easy though.
History and Religion tomorrow - dreading them.

Oh yes I did the same essay and wrote about something else. If you learn off an essay and use lots of vocabulary you can nearly always twist off a JC essay.

Dirty minded!!! It wasn't actually "mmm again". The mmm is a blank. People who have done the paper will know and others who haven't won't be helped prepare.
