SEC Chief Examiners’ Reports: Leaving Certificate
Engineering (2011)
•‘Successful candidates gave structure to their answering by, where appropriate, tabulating their answers, using bullet points to highlight and give emphasis, producing neat and accurate graphs, and using sketches and diagrams to illustrate their answers’
Geography (2012)‘Some candidates found measuring on the Ordnance Survey map difficult. Location by grid reference and location on the aerial photograph continues to challenge some candidates’ (Ordinary Level)
‘The absence of correct labelling of the axes on the graph work was noted by many examiners both in the Geographical Investigation report and in the written examination paper’ (Higher Level)
Music (2012)‘Candidates responded well in questions where a choice of answers were presented to them but experienced difficulty in questions requiring descriptive or explanatory answers’
History(2011)‘Some candidates ignored the date parameters of the question or of the topic
Accounting (2011)‘common errors in part (c) were: incorrectly treating subscriptions due and subscriptions prepaid; treating lotto receipts and payments separately; expenses due were treated incorrectly or omitted; a number of candidates omitted the heading Surplus of Income over Expenditure’
German (2010)
‘A minority of candidates still have difficulty with number and letter recognition in German, particularly numbers with a decimal point and the letters ‘e’ and ‘i’ ‘
