    I agree. Why can't it be an online written assignment as some colleges do the course as a written assignment. Working in the UK with 2 kids makes it difficult to get home to sit the exam.

    Anyone know of any pattern to predict the type of questions coming up?

    Hi there! If anyone has taken H&S exam recentlu,could you give an insight of it. How it actually works when you are there and what is expected from you. Thanks!

    Well, that's a hard question to answer in a way? It is a two hour exam with two essay type questions to answer. There is information on the website about the reading list and past papers. There is usually a question about your own area and how it has changed and developed over the period in question. You will need to know about the education act.

    You just get a pass or fail, you don't get any feedback on how you've done. I saw some people leave after less than an hour.

    Hi, it looks like there will be an online version of the History and Structure of Irish Education exam in August. That's great for me here in Australia (it was going to be expensive to fly to Ireland to sit the exam!) but it mean I'm asking the same question that others have been... I've got the basic information about the exam with some past papers and a list of reading resources but has any got a summary to sort of guide me?
    Thanks!

    Taking the online exam this Saturday. Feeling unprepared. Have got notes but there is a lot of reading involved never mind preparing example essays.
    those who have sat it before do you have any advice? I got the link above with the notes. is that enough to learn? thanks

    From what I recall it boiled down to 3 aspects...

    Development of VECs/ETBs
    Development of primary + secondary education since 1850 (more of a dates and bullet points question)
    Role of Religious and State in Education

    There's a link to the essay in the sticky thread at the top of the forum

    I am creating something similar. Thank you for the idea.
    I wonder do you have examples of past papers too?
    Or recommended reading that i should take into account?

    Thank you

    Another question: what is the requirement for the word count. Is it really 1500-2000 words per question? seems a lot


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 stevenwilliams


    There was the link I received to find past papers. Maybe you should check and see if you got it. Unfortunately, I can't paste the link here.
