Physics gets off to 'very nice start' in 'fair paper'

Physics and chemistry, the subject which combines parts of both Leaving Cert physics and Leaving Cert chemistry, was also examined on Wednesday.

This year's physics exam got off to a "very nice start", while the amendments to this year’s accounting papers allowed a much greater focus on accuracy as Leaving Cert exams continued on Wednesday. 

This year, the higher-level physics exam presented students with a “very fair paper”, according to John Connelly, subject representative with the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland.
