As someone who isn't really a language person and was very scared for this irish higher level exam, I was pleasantly surprised. The listening was by far simpler from what was in the exam papers. The comprehension was a little tricky but also not too bad. The literature questions weren't too crazy compared to what I was anticipating. The grammar had options which was a huge relief. Even the unseen question was surprisingly straightforward, being just to write about a trip to the beach or a concert. Overall I'm happy with the exam and proud of my work towards it.
