    If you write an essay that doesnt match any of the headings given and it was perfect etc can you still get the 80/100?

    Unfortunately not, its a bit like English in that respect. If you don't keep to the purpose, you wont get the marks in the other section(s). That said, if you're completely stuck and you manage to tie it in, you could be okay. eg, One of the questions last year was about Ireland being an open and welcoming country. If you had an essay on fadhbanna, all you had to do is say no then use all the fadhbanna as why, and kept referring to the question.

    Can somebody please proof read this paragraph of the pressure the media put on young people please?

    Chomh maith leis sin, dar liomsa, cuireann na meain cumarsaide bru millteanach orainn. Feictear domsa go mbionn tionchar nach beag ag nuachtain ar dhaoine oga, ar chailini oga ach go hairthe. Tog, mar shampla, an cursai faisin. Is doigh liom nach bhfeidir a bheith ro-thanai sa la ata inniu ann.
    Feictear aisteoiri agus realtai ceoil agus maincini cailiula sna hirisi agus iad ar a mbealach (on their way?) chuig coisir eigin i Hollywood. Nil dabht ar bith i m'aigne go gcuireann na bpictiuiri de na daoine seo isteach ar cailini oga.

    Thanks. :)
    -Go háirithe
    -"Tog, mar shampla, an cursai faisin" - Tóg, mar shampla, cursaí faisin (you don't need the "an")
    -You're right with "ar a mbealach" :)

    Very minor things, for all I know they're typos, it's a very good paragraph :)

    Just to add to the above-

    It's ... na meáin chumarsáide
    Should be 'nach féidir' in the tanaí part.
    Réaltaí ceol (TG lagiolra)
    na pictiúir (I'm sure you'd get away with pictiúirí but the correct plural is pictiúir)
    ar chailíní óga.

    But it's a grand paragraph.

    How would Gaelscéal get it? I'd say it's a practice one for the 2013 exam.

    Nope thats on all the exams, it just means its the cluaistuiscint part.You hear it at the end of the exams saying "Deireadh na trialach". Quite strange how they haven't indicated that its not a mock exam or anything but lets face it, its too good to be true! Besides the SEC keep these things as secure as possible, they'd hardly allow another company to 1.get hold of it and 2.upload it to the internet.

    I don't think there's any rule against using pencil in the exam, I did it for maths and I'm gonna do it for accounting as well. The best thing to do, if you can't find any rules about it on the SEC website, is just to ask your exam superintendent. They should know :)

    Uh, what was the exact translation for the first title?

    Guys for the fifth essay title - Eire mar ionad saoire, I adapted my "the gathering" essay to it, and said that the gathering was an example of how Ireland is a great holiday destination etc and I then branched away from the gathering and gave general reasons why Ireland would be a good holiday destination etc. Do you think I referred to the question enough, kind of worried :(
