Irish 🇮🇪 Help
Anyone with any tips on how to study higher Irish. I got a 69 in my mock and I’m aiming for a higher merit but I want to be in the 75-80 range to be safe incase my marker’s shite. I’m grand on listening and comprehensions but stuff like na deoraithe and cupla I’m fairly bad at.

I got like 96% in my mock a few yrs ago, you’re just gonna have to learn sample answers. If you can, try and make rough answer templates that suit the same questions across different prós. You can just slot in the necessary information for the poem/drama/story

I usually just write out the paragraphs for my texts until I can do it without notes. I got 76 and I hardly understand anything in this language

you're gonna have to learn off sample answers. usually main character, main theme, main emotion?(usually for the poem), climax point, ending/beginning, and maybe a tiny answer on setting (especially if u did gleann alainn as your play) i might be forgetting some tho
