About this revision guide

Built from nine years of real Higher Level Paper 2 exams (2017 to 2026) and the new Leaving Cert 2027 texts: reading comprehension, grammar for 6(a), the prescribed prose and poetry, and the additional literature. Exam tasks and model answers in Irish; guidance in English.

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 worked answer, and the full 200-mark practice paper comes with model answers (two reading passages, Eoinín na nÉan, Athair, Glaoch Abhaile, Deirdre and Anthony Daly), plans for the other options and a marking guide in the style of the SEC marking schemes.

Built on the Leaving Cert 2027 course (Department circular 0041/2026), the first year these prose and poems are examined. The prescribed poems are in copyright and are not printed: keep your own copy beside you. Where a text could not be checked line by line, the book gives an answer plan instead of a model answer. The oral exam is not covered.

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

Original GrindSpot material written in the style of the Leaving Certificate examination: the reading passages and model answers are new. Not an official SEC paper. Every question behind the topic trends is listed at grindspot.ie/exam-trends/irish.
