Therefore there are no exam paper questions based on the new course, only sample questions which will be released in due course. In the notes provided, there are questions at the end of each topic and exam questions from the old course. The new exam is made of 2 sections, Section A is short answer questions and Section B is long answer questions. It has been amended for the year 2021 to allow for an increased choice of question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, EXTRA RESOURCES will be published each week on Edmodo for students to be able to study supplement course material at their own leisure outside of our tuition sessions. We would ask all members to use these digital classrooms platforms on a weekly basis to maximise their overall grade.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The specification for Leaving Certificate Agricultural Science is set out in four strands of study and eight crosscutting themes that permeate these strands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note that students will also be offered advice and guidance throughout the weeks as they complete their IIS in school.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n |
