“Leaving Cert Table Quiz of Nightmares (not really…) it’ll be fun and on the upside it might give everyone a chance to get the points they REALLY deserved…McGrattans, Thurs 26th at 7pm… The weather’s supposed to be a bit bleh tomorrow so might as well come win some prizes..”
Know someone doing their mocks?
James Whelton (our favourite former teen sensation) and Trinity student James Eggers have come up with a pair of apps to help those sitting the Junior and Leaving Cert this year.
They describe the apps as giving:
Access to all the online Irish junior and leaving certificate papers for all levels, with such mind-blowing features as “full screen paper viewing mode”, landscape support and intelligent exam level remembering features, we built this app for such an incredible experience to aid studying, that if weaponised, aliens would finally visit earth in order to learn this app’s secrets.
No longer will you fear the Léamhthuiscint in Irish Paper 2 when viewed through this app. This is the perfect companion to the fast paced, exotic, glamorous and thrilling adventure that is the Junior Cert….
Unfortunately, there are no answers but there’s another app for that.
Junior Cert Papers and Leaving Cert Papers are available on the App Store for €1.79 each.
Do you have an Irish app? Broadsheet@broadsheet.ie
Leaving Cert Answers from The Educational Company of Ireland is a nice little helper app for those wretched souls facing into the barrel of a ‘life determining’ exam.
The app provides the answers for the 2005 papers as a sample so you can see the quality before splurging on later years.
Leaving Cert Answers is available now on the Apple App Store with a free sample of the answers available and the rest as in app purchases.

Rookie mistake, in fairness.
Sage last minute advice for leaving cert students currently being doled out on the twitter machine by ‘Sylvia Plath’.
And look how well she turned out.
Clisare x 2’s last minute Leaving Cert essay writing advice.
You might even want to repeat it.
Repeat.
Suit yourselves.

Your surplus ‘sraith pictuiri’ problems solved.

I’m a leaving cert student from Sligo. As part of the Irish oral exam all students in both honours and pass have to learn 20 picture stories (or sraith pictuiri) They change every year and serve no purpose once the orals finish this week. I’ve made a video about nine fun things to do with your sraiths – I’d love if you’d check it out!
