The higher-level geography exam was fair, balanced and topical, offering students more choice and time than ever before, according to Michael Doran, a geography teacher at the Institute of Education in Dublin.
“Changes to the exam this year meant that students had more time, and for the first time ever did not have to panic their way through answers,” said Mr Doran. “In part two of the exam, they normally have to answer four questions, one from each of four sections. This year, they had to answer three questions, from two sections.”
