    Another good way to learn stuff is to say it out loud. You look mental but it works.

    Michael D Higgins made a guest appearance on the Irish tape. You don't know where he'll turn up, he's Gaeilge's Heaney. Except alive of course.

    :pac:

    BTW can you be penalised for writing too much in the irish essays? I know it said 2.5 pages but there was just so much time, i wrote 5 pages in total. I dont understand why they give us so much time I wrote twice the recommended amount yet still had 40 minutes left at the end

    I actually think the tapes are funny, there was a really sarcastic "I couldn't give a shít" undertone when your wan said bye to Seán :pac:

    I thought some of the questions there could have easily appeared on the HPAT... what an awful paper

    That's what I was thinking during it too! I was so stuck for time as well :( Was really hoping for an A1 in maths but that's definitely not going to happen now. So disheartened.
