‘Pressure’ 10 tweets that perfectly sum up the Leaving Cert experience
Up and down the country today, more than 120,000 students will begin their State exams.
English is on the cards for students at 9.30am, with Leaving Cert students sitting English Paper 1, and Junior Cert students will face English and CSPE.
Twitter is alight with students and past students alike, sharing their experiences and thoughts about the big day.

8. We'd pay good money to see this
TIP: 20 minutes into your English paper tomorrow, ask for some graph paper. It'll totally freak everyone else out. #LeavingCert #JuniorCert
