Applied maths closes the book on the Leaving Cert
According to Christy Maginn of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI), the higher- level exam taken by the vast majority of candidates was another âniceâ paper which may encourage more students to take the subject in future.
He said the exam was nicely laid-out, with diagrams accompanying many questions which would have helped students tackle them confidently and the phrasing of questions also made very clear what was required of students. Mr Maginn said the question on simple harmonic motion and circular motion returned to the kind of style candidates might have expected, after more challenging questions of previous years.
