The wait is finally over for 120,000 Junior and Leaving cert students as they sat English paper one today in 5,000 test centres across Ireland.
There has been a 3% increase in students opting to take the higher level English paper this year, here are some reactions to today’s paper.
English Paper 1 was by no means easy - composition titles were tough! #LeavingCert

Tomorrow students will sit English paper two and are praying for poets Slyvia Plath and Eavan Boland to appear.

English Paper One went well enough, but it's Paper Two tomorrow that's the real worry for me 💀 #LeavingCert
