What students really think about the exams

MATHS PAPER 2

I THOUGHT it was okay, not too bad. I got three questions out fully, and the guts of two others.

I made a stupid mistake on the probability, but, sure what can you do.

I failed! I know I did! I attempted about four questions but I don’t know how right they were and then the vectors went terribly wrong!

Then I got desperate and just started guessing how to do things and I can't believe how wrong it went! – allhonours.ie

I thought the paper was quite good overall. Got almost all of it done – pretty sure I messed up some parts though! – boards.ie

It was more work than Paper 1 anyway. Couldn't get the last part in question 2 out but I think I did grand in the rest. Hopefully I'll get my A ! – allhonours.ie

I thought it was alright. Paper 1 was better from what I counted as definitely right. I think I have a B1 overall, and am pretty upset on missing out on the A.

I blanked on the last part of the first trig question and on the last part of the circle. Calculus was easy thank God. – boards.ie

JUNIOR CERT MATHS

Maths Paper 2 was great. Not easy by any means but better than Paper 1. So relaxed, nothing else worries me now. – boards.ie

IRISH PAPER 1

Did anyone find the paper ridiculously easy?

I did the essay on the Celtic Tiger but I thought the comprehensions were so simple compared to other years! – boards.ie
