About A level exam stress - Justin Craig

A level exam revision can be stress free

When planning A level exam revision many students make an exacting timetable that takes them right up to the date of the exam, therefore, a last minute change to exam arrangements can be potentially devastating

In June 2009 an Irish exam paper mix up that saw students in a school in Drogheda get Paper 2 before the rest of the country caused major embarrassment for education chiefs in Ireland with many Irish politicians furious that such a mistake should happen.

The subsequent hasty rescheduling of exams was labelled an "educational debacle" by Labour Party education spokesman, Ruairi Quinn.

Quinn noted that students had been preparing for the exams for two years and had organised revision courses and programmes around the exam timetable that was distributed at the start of the academic year.

He said, "Now [students] are going to have to totally refocus their efforts for a new date."

"Parents will be furious, the principal concern must be the implications for the tens of thousands of students who were due to sit these papers tomorrow," he added.

Brian Hayes, education spokesman for Fine Gael, said, "The inconvenience and additional pressure on students cannot be overstated. The contingency exam on Saturday will dramatically change study patterns and students will feel an incredible amount of undue stress."
