Mixed views on Leaving Cert higher level maths paper 2

There were mixed views on today's higher level Maths Paper 2. Some teachers said that students were left scratching their heads after "challenging" and "wordy" questions, while others said that it was a "true Project Maths" exam that would have rewarded problem solvers.

There had been a generally positive reaction to higher level Maths Paper 1 last Friday morning, with many students hopeful of a repeat yesterday. While some will have been happy with what was on the test, teachers said there was "a significant jump in standard" between the two papers.
