About this revision guide

Built from nine years of real Ordinary Level Paper 1 exams (2017 to 2026): what comes up in Comprehending and Composing, how it's marked, and the practice to be ready for it.

It's an interactive PDF. Type your answers straight into the answer spaces on a computer, or write on the pages with a pen on a tablet: in GrindSpot's study viewer (it opens from My purchases and saves your work) or in any PDF app, such as GoodNotes, Notability, OneNote or Adobe Acrobat. Tick the checklist as you go and jump around with the clickable contents.

Every drill has a model answer, and the practice paper comes with a marking guide for each question, in the style of the SEC marking schemes.

Dyslexia-friendly layout: 12 pt sans-serif text, generous line spacing and plenty of room to write.

Original GrindSpot material written in the style of the Leaving Certificate examination: every text, image and question is new. Not an official SEC paper. Every question behind the topic trends is listed at grindspot.ie/exam-trends/english.
