Students eye finish line with Spanish and chemistry
The afternoon’s Leaving Certificate chemistry exam proved a tough reminder for many students, however, and Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) subject spokesperson Camille King suggested top grades will be hard to come by for higher level students.
She said most of the questions were particularly long and it would have been difficult to get the exam complete within the three hours. She thought the ordinary level exam was a fair paper, with questions set in a format very suited to students at that level.
