Students can relax as exams come to an end

THE Junior Certificate is finally over, and the last of this year’s Leaving Certificate students will be able to put their feet up this evening.

Yesterday’s Junior Cert classical studies exam was a very long paper, according to ASTI’s Michael Barry, who said a shorter exam would suit students better. He said some candidates were a little unhappy with questions on the Athenian Acropolis, and they were also surprised to see an illustration in one of the questions.

Leaving Certificate music had almost 4,000 students in the exam halls in the morning and afternoon, with listening and composition papers to be answered.
