The State Examinations Commission (SEC) has confirmed that there was an error in the Leaving Certificate Higher Level Maths Paper Two.
According to RTÉ the mistake related to parts A and B of question eight, a trigonometry question worth 10 per cent of the overall marks for the paper.
Apparently the two-part question included a diagram with incorrect angles which made a number of answers possible. It was an error that teachers said many would not have noticed.
The SEC also explained that the mistake will be taken into account when the papers are marked so that no students are disadvantaged
“The marking scheme will, as usual be published along with those in all other subjects after the issue of results in mid-August. Candidates have the option of appealing their results,” they added.
The mistake concerned a trigonometry question.
