In the DarkThe 2025 Leaving Certificate Physics papersAs I have already mentioned on this blog, examinations for the 2025 school Leaving Certificate are under way. One of the interesting things about the Irish system is that the <a href="https://www.examinations.ie/exammaterialarchive/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">examination papers are put up online</a> immediately after the examinations so it’s very easy to share the content. I have already <a href="https://telescoper.blog/2025/06/07/the-2025-leaving-certificate-mathematics-papers/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">posted the two Mathematics papers for 2025</a>. This year’s Physics examinations (at Ordinary and Higher level) took place this morning, so I thought I’d share the papers here. In particular, readers in the UK might be interested to compare the standard of these papers with that of current A-levels in Physics.One thing I should mention is that Leaving Certificate Physics is not a prerequisite for entry into any of our Physics programmes at Maynooth University. Some do have it, but many don’t. We teach the first-year material from scratch for all students. Anyway, here are this years papers, Ordinary and Higher respectively.

In the DarkThe Test Final and Final Examination BoardHad I not been obliged to attend this morning’s final Examination Board for Theoretical Physics programmes at Maynooth University, I would have been at Lord’s today watching Day 2 of the World Test Cricket final between Australia and South Africam where it is now the Tea interval. There certainly wouldn’t have been any cricket in Maynooth this morning, as there has been torrential rain all day so far, but the Exam Board went ahead and finished even before South Africa were all out in their first innings for 138, after late-order collapse, in response to Australia’s first innings total of 212.As <a href="https://telescoper.blog/2025/06/09/marking-over/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">I already mentioned</a>, today’s Examination Board we went through the results in the presence of our External Examiner. Since this is the end of the academic year, we also looked at the final grades of those students who are completing their studies this year in order to consider the classification of their degrees. Another (pleasant) duty of our Examination Board was to award prizes for the best performance, not just for finalists but for students at every stage, including the first year. These will be announced in due course.But that’s not quite the end of it – there is an overall University Examination Board that covers all courses in the University to formally bring an end to the examination process. It is not until after all the Boards have done their business that the students get their marks. If all goes to plan, students will receive their final marks on Friday 27th June. Soon after that, on Tuesday 1st July, we have a Consultation Day, where<blockquote>Staff will be available in all Departments to discuss results with students. Students are entitled to see their examination scripts if they wish, these will be generally available on this day or at another mutually convenient time.If I had my way we would actually give all students their marked examination scripts back as a matter of routine. Obviously examination scripts have to go through a pretty strict quality assurance process involving the whole paraphernalia of examination boards (including External Examiners), so the scripts can’t be given back immediately but once that process is complete there doesn’t seem to me any reason why we shouldn’t give their work, together with any feedback written on it,  back to the students in its entirety. I have heard it argued that under the provisions of the <a href="https://www.dataprotection.ie/en/dpc-guidance/law/data-protection-legislation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Data Protection Act</a> students have a legal right to see what’s written on the scripts – as that constitutes part of their student record – but I’m not making a legalistic point here. My point is purely educational, based on the benefit to the student’s learning experience.That’s one set of examination duties done and dusted, but not everything. Next Tuesday I am Internal Examiner for a PhD at Maynooth and, about a month from now, I have to travel to a foreign land to be an External Examiner. It’s all go…</blockquote><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/australia/" target="_blank">#Australia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/cricket/" target="_blank">#cricket</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/examination-board/" target="_blank">#ExaminationBoard</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/examinations/" target="_blank">#Examinations</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/maynooth-university/" target="_blank">#MaynoothUniversity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/south-africa/" target="_blank">#SouthAfrica</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/world-test-cricket-final/" target="_blank">#WorldTestCricketFinal</a>

In the DarkThe LeavingToday is not only a significant date for me (in more ways than one), but it’s important for many young people in Ireland because the Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate examinations both start today, so the first thing I need to do is wish everyone starting their examinations the very best of luck! <a href="https://telescoper.blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/exam.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> Among other things, the results of the leaving certificate examinations are important for September’s university admissions. This year the <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/education/2025/03/07/inflated-leaving-cert-results-set-to-drop-for-first-time-in-five-years/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">grade inflation that occurred during the pandemic years will be reduced</a>, though it is not yet clear how. Whatever happens is likely to have a big impact on student recruitment to third-level institutions.In the system operating in England and Wales the standard qualification for entry is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCE_Advanced_Level" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">GCE A-level</a>. Most students take A-levels in three subjects, which gives them a relatively narrow focus although the range of subjects to choose from is rather large. In Ireland the standard qualification is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaving_Certificate_(Ireland)#United_Kingdom" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Leaving Certificate</a>, which comprises a minimum of six subjects, with many students taking more than this. This gives students a broader range of knowledge at the sacrifice (perhaps) of a certain amount of depth; it has been decreed for entry into this system that an Irish Leaving Certificate subject counts as about 2/3 of an A-level subject for admissions purposes, so Irish students do the equivalent of at least four A-levels, and many do more than this. It’s also worth noting that all students have to take Mathematics at Leaving Certificate level.One can choose to do Leaving Certificate subjects at Ordinary or Higher level and there’s quite a big difference between the two, especially in Mathematics (of which more below).Overall I prefer the Leaving Certificate over the UK system of A-levels, as the former gives the students a broader range of subjects than the latter (as does the International Baccalaureate). I would have liked to have been allowed to take at least one arts subject past O-level, for example. <a href="https://telescoper.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/exams-and-tests.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> For University admissions points are awarded for each paper according to the marks obtained and then aggregated into a total CAO points, CAO being the <a href="http://www.cao.ie/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Central Applications Office</a>, the equivalent of the UK’s UCAS. This means, for example, that our main Science pathway at Maynooth allows students to study Physics without having done it at Leaving Certificate level. This obviously means that the first year has to be taught at a fairly elementary level, but it has the enormous benefit of allowing us to recruit students whose schools do not offer Physics.There is however a big problem with Mathematics. It was decided some years ago that students would get 25 extra CAO points if they got a mark of at least 40% in Higher Mathematics. This has led to more students taking the subject, which is good, but <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/education/2025/05/16/bonus-points-for-leaving-cert-higher-level-maths-appear-to-be-causing-decline-in-standards/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">there are signs</a> that this may have led to a decline in standards. Our Theoretical Physics & Mathematics course requires a good result in Higher Mathematics for entry. Will changes to the marking of Higher Mathematics this year make it harder for students to make the grade? We’ll just have to wait and see.Moreover, since the pandemic struck, students have been able to choose to answer questions from a limited range of sections on the mathematics examination papers. That means that students can get very high grades despite knowing nothing about a big chunk of the syllabus. That matters most for subjects that require students to have certain skills and knowledge for entry into University, such as Physics. I taught part of our first year Mathematical Physics course in Maynooth for about 5 years. It was noticeable how the fraction that were comfortable with basic differentiation and integration was falling. Will this trend accelerate? Again, we’ll just have to wait and see…<a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/examinations/" target="_blank">#Examinations</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/leaving-certificate/" target="_blank">#LeavingCertificate</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/leaving-certificate-2025/" target="_blank">#LeavingCertificate2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/mathematics/" target="_blank">#mathematics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/maynooth-university/" target="_blank">#MaynoothUniversity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/physics/" target="_blank">#Physics</a>

In the DarkAmid all the excitement last week, I forgot that it was the sixth teaching week of the Semester. That means that we’re now past the halfway point. Among other things that meant that examination papers were due in on Friday (8th November). That means two papers for each module I’m teaching, one to be sat in January and another for the repeat opportunity in August, so that’s four altogether.I always find setting examination questions very difficult. In theoretical physics we want to stretch the stronger candidates at the same time as allowing the weaker ones to show what they can do. It’s a perennial problem how to make the questions neither too easy nor too difficult, but it is compounded this time by the fact that I’m teaching two modules for the very first time so judging the right level is tricky. Another issue is that I’m once again in a situation in which I have to set examination papers without having taught all the material. At least I’ve covered the first half of the content so I have some idea of what the students found difficult, but that’s not the case for the second half. It should be a bit easier next year once I’ve experience of covering the whole syllabus. Assuming, of course, that I’m teaching the same modules again next year, which is by no means guaranteed…I’m teaching a module on Differential Equations and Complex Analysis for 4th year students and just about ready to switch to the part that comes after the and. I taught a bit of Complex Analysis when I was at Sussex and I’m quite looking forward to it, although it does pose a particular challenge. Some of the class are doing a Double Major in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics, and have done quite a lot of Complex Analysis before, while others are doing a Single Major in Theoretical Physics and haven’t really done any. I have to somehow find a way to satisfy these two different groups. The only way I can think of to do that is to teach the subject as a physicist rather than a pure mathematician, with an emphasis on examples and real-world applications rather than in the abstract. We’ll see how this works out over the next few weeks.P.S. On the subject of Complex Analysis, I just remembered <a href="https://telescoper.blog/2015/05/15/a-problems-class-in-complex-analysis/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this post</a> from a few years ago.<a href="https://telescoper.blog/2024/11/11/midpoint/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://telescoper.blog/2024/11/11/midpoint/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/complex-analysis/" target="_blank">#ComplexAnalysis</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/education/" target="_blank">#education</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/examination-questions/" target="_blank">#ExaminationQuestions</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/examinations/" target="_blank">#Examinations</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/mathematics/" target="_blank">#mathematics</a>

sparseMatrix ✅✅✅ 📻About testing for my General Class TicketSo, the other day when I was crowing about how easy this was going to be, it turns out I had been practicing testing over a single module, of a dozen or so.Those other dozen modules, quite frankly, have been kick my lilly ass.It's ok, though, I've got it down to where I'm failing consistently at 2 of 35 questions.The only problem is, I've been practicing almost a week now *and I'm still seeing new questions* LMAOIt's all good though!I can't test until the 15th of next month, because of scheduling conflicts -- so I should have five or six weeks to study.I tell ya what, if I'm acing it every time next week, I'm moving right on into advanced study and going for the advanced class exam instead.<a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/amateurradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#amateurradio</a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/radeiooperations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#radeiooperations</a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hamradio</a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/arrl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#arrl</a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/examinations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#examinations</a>
