The following are excerpts from the discussion forum on the exams on the skoool.ie website.
• i cant believe i am finished . . . had chemistry on tuesday and i was dreading it so much, i had nothing done and crammed all night and was shaking going into the exam but thank god it was an ok paper . . . if only i could turn back time i would have done so much more and i know i wouldnt be sitting here thinking about having to repeat to get 560 points,.... but thats me you do well in your junior cert by doing nothing and you think you can breeze through the leaving , not true! - Dr

• I know the Exam Commission can't be expected to be perfect (they are, after all, a government body), but you'd think that they'd at least CHECK the syllabi before finalizing the exam papers! I am of course referring to the spectacular cock-up on LC higher Maths last week and today's lesser mess on higher Chemistry - c'mon lads, get your act together! - els
• Well I'm finished now, home and dry so to speak! PS watch Cameron on Big Brother - let's pray he doesn't get voted out - he's gorgeous! - CAMERON FAN!
• "The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." - Aristotle
When you are old and grey, and the leaving cert seems a distant memory remember that quote.
The process of doing the leaving Cert has thought me a lot about myself and those people around me, but perhaps the greatest gift it has bestowed on me is the knowledge that I am not alone.
The process has been hard, the study difficult and the papers mind boggling at times but they have all just been one step on the road to something greater, on the road to finding out who I really am and what I really want to do with my life.
I hope all of my fellow leavng cert candidates will learn to appreciate this process in time, and what it has done for each and every one of you. Thanks. - Quirkey
