      This is one we use in ordinary level.
      Just say like Áine for the name.

      Does anybody have any tips on how to approach the comprehensions as well as the unseen prose and poetry? I have some difficulty with these. Having to answer in your own words is difficult sometimes. It'd be handy if my vocabulary was about twice as good as it is now, as I can hardly make head nor tail of those. Studied poetry, prose and the written sections are by far the easiest parts of the paper.

      Something that happened, perhaps an accident. Usually the story will just be "you went somewhere(for example, a disco, a party, a soccer match)" and you have to write an event surrounding that. Learn off vocabulary about the storm/robbery/accident whatever and just use it with what ever comes up.

      One of my favourite pieces of vocabulary is "Bhí mé ar scamall a naoi" - "I was on cloud nine" :D

      it's better to write it in the words in the exact same way then write nothing if it says buachaill say an ngasúr instead they mean the same thing. and change the order of the words around if u know how to otherwise dont

      listening you have no choice it's 20 minutes. 40 minutes for the 2 comprehensions. 40 minutes for each. 15-20 mins for the grammar and 35 minutes for the sceal. Im going to check while i'm writing, like not rush anything. I'm so scared now cause I forgot all the Irish I learned :S

      Im leaving 30 aside for tape but will probably use 5 mins for reading.
      Dont be worried once you have tape done and comprehensions youll get back in the swing of things
      good luck
