Leaving Cert: Second maths ‘more of a challenge’

Maths and Irish were on the menu for Leaving Certificate students at the start of week two yesterday.

The majority doing maths took ordinary level, and Robert Chaney, of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland, said Paper 2, which they faced in the morning, should not have been too challenging.

“Questions were well worded, and had nicely graduated steps,” he said.
