Leaving Certs sat engineering and English paper two, while Junior Cycle students had Irish and geography
That’s a wrap... Our live State exams live blog is wrapping up for the evening. We hope today’s papers went well -- and remember, even if they didn’t, pretty much everyone else is in the same boat. The so-called bell curve for marking exams means there is always a similar proportion of H1s, H2s, etc, each year. This means the “easier” exams tend to be marked harder, while “harder” exams tend to be marked a little easier. Up tomorrow for Leaving Cert students is geography and maths paper one .
For instance, if you are asked to “describe and explain the formation of two igneous rocks”, you need 7-8 SRPs for each rock. Make sure your answer is balanced. While it’s difficult to predict what will come up in the exam, some common topics do tend to reoccur in physical geography. Questions are frequently asked about a landform of erosion/deposition, and human interaction with the rock cycle/surface processes. Be sure to study for these.
