You were my favourite teacher Pat. I'll miss your classes! - student of 2024

How do you deal with phones, and ear pods ???

Cooked.

Martin is a gifted teacher.

Why notes? Why not use the textbook?

"Promo SM" 😒

Asking eight of these questions to be done in 150 minutes was extremely unfair.What is the point of putting students under this unnecessary time pressure? A three hour exam would have been more suitable in my view.

Any tips for self studying applied maths? Does it matter in which order I study the different topics?

thanks for the analysis, I definitely agree regarding time-Dijkstra took a while for me.

Guī mí shá

I was really hoping for tabular statement to appear in section B but oh well. Good paper though in fairness

pat i love you

another belter by the department of education

Guī mí shā💋💅

Am I the only one who found most of the calculations difficult?

谢谢吴老师！！我爱你！

Yo have no quotes for my poetry essay how many marks do I lose lads

The paper wasn’t the enemy… time was 🥲

Time pressure is so bad for business

Fair paper yes! ( I bottled it so hard oh my god probs h4 )

Can you do chemistry predictions

do use the formula for a trancated cone to find area of the basin

Seems to be a lot of "getting your hands on papers"

big up Peter Gilick big up Aidan Roantree

Paper 2*

Why tf is there two of me in the comments I only commented once whatttt

i had a problem with q15, in that you cannot use the binary search algorithm they've provided on a list with strings. the question was very misleading.

my son is there haning off the ceiling because of this paper. hope norma foley has a warm pillow when she goes to bed

"those who relied on learning previous exam questions off by heart". What does that even mean? It's leaving cert higher level maths, any teacher will tell you the best way to prepare is doing past exam papers. I've done every single maths paper for the last 10 years and never have I come across one like yesterday's. After all of that work I don't appreciate it being made out to be taking the easy way out by just "learning off". If you have put time and effort into past exam questions you should be rewarded with a fair paper that you can recognise how to tackle.

If you take an A level mathematics paper you study the course do plenty of past papers and you get the grade you deserve. in Ireland you take an honours maths paper and it can be full of awkward time consuming questions designed to confuse ,confound and waste time. We seem to have nothing else to do than to set cryptic mathematics papers. After all there are 6 other subjects to study for anyone bright enough to take the Honours maths course. At A level there are two other subjects. I suppose its all part of the great Irish points race to secure a place in an over priced city university where you try and acquire a masters degree ( an honours degree probably wont be any good) so you can work for free for a year . God forbid you might want to teach that will take two more years so can get 10 hours a week 100 miles from where you live . And people wonder why graduates emigrate to Saudi Arabia ???

The geo paper was really nice, physical geo questions were really enjoyable.

i can't believe they gave us a paper like that, hoping the bell curve gets me a pass at this point

My daughter is traumatised by the paper and came back in tears! It's too difficult :(

I feel so sorry for my daughter who worked soooo hard and she ended up by having this horrible exam. It's not fair to have such paper for students who even did not do their junior cert.

Giving this paper to a class after covid, where most students in the year haven't even done the JC is the most horrible decision ever.

I felt like none of the study I did came in handy. Absolutely horrible exam paper, mainly because it was so different to every other past exams

My daughter said this paper was diabolical /horrendous waste of 2 years studying said majority of the class came out upset.

The only poets i studied were bishop, Dickinson and Yeats, what a nightmare

Everyone is saying this years paper 1 was “weird” etc. interesting.

I mean what exactly are we supposed to do when most of the questions are abstract, writing a written word response, being unnecessarily convoluted, adding in unneeded variables, borrowing from applied maths, integrating in 3D, transforming complex numbers in a way that hasn't been asked before, and being a somewhat unclear sequences and series question?

This guy think he smart or something

All the 2023 exams are so tough compared to last year

First

I think single handedly brought up everyones grade by 10 percent....

How the fuck do you go from last years paper 1 to that !

Please tell me everyone despised that paper or I’ll cry

I'm so fucking happy that there was no Elizabeth Bishop and Emily Dickinson (no im not, although i knew derek mahon I would've preferred someone else.)

Didn't get time to look at the unseen poem, it was truly unseen.

Never needing to think about Macbeth again and then watching this is basically self-harm
