Mixed assessments of higher-level maths paper that allowed plenty of time to finish

There were mixed assessments of yesterday’s second Leaving Certificate higher level maths paper.

Bríd Griffin, the Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) subject spokeswoman, said students were quite happy and were not under pressure for time to finish.

“The instructions were very clear, they didn’t have to try reading a lot of English to decipher what was being asked,” Ms Griffin said.
