Junior Cert students faced tricky proposition with Maths Paper 2

Junior Cert students faced a tricky proposition with today's Maths Paper 2, according to teachers. Some students may have struggled with the terminology in the paper, while several questions would not have looked out of place on a Leaving Cert paper, teachers said.

There was also a striking similarity between some questions on the Ordinary and Higher Level papers, potentially causing a headache for some students. Eamonn Toland, founder of the theMathsTutor.ie, said that there was "plenty of accessible material for all students, with just a few challenging parts for those looking for higher grades".
