Pro Tip: Write Phonetics on Your Sheet

A great exam tip is that you’re allowed to write the phonetics of tricky words in pencil on your exam sheet. This can help you pronounce the Irish words more clearly and with confidence. It’s a simple trick, but it can make a huge difference when you’re in the exam room.
