Leaving Cert History Exam Review/Rant

Sometimes people ask us if there's a bad way of doing history, and usually the answer depends on what they want to research - but if you're looking for a perfect example of doing it completely wrong then look no further than the abysmal and stressful Leaving Cert Higher Level History exam! The Leaving Cert is almost over now, and with the release of the exam to the public the gang have decided to look it over and give you our unfiltered thoughts on the exam, what it expects of students, and how the whole way we make students learn history in secondary schools actually does more to drive hopeful historians away from the field than to keep them interested! This episode was presented by Arron Keegan, Conor Daly, and Hayley O'Connor. The intro and outro music - Strollin' Along - was recorded by David Renda.
