Both the biology and Irish exam papers offered plenty of choices as Leaving Cert exams continued on Tuesday, with teachers agreeing that the adjustments to this year's exams helped to take pressure off students. 

Overall, the higher-level biology paper was “very fair” and offered students “fantastic choice”.
