    Is it even possible to start studying now and get 400+ point? :/

    It all depends on the person, but yes, definitely possible. Especially if you have five or more higher subjects.

    Studying is meant to be easier too if you start out really small and then just keep increasing the workload until you've formed a good study habit. :)

    You'll have absolutely no problems. Most of us here possess a common deficiency in lacking studying ability but, head down, no distractions and give it a good run for 3 months and you'll be laughing by the end.
    Starting tomorrow we're going to be good students alright?:pac:

    Of course! But you'll have to be really disciplined with your study! I want 515 or more so I have serious work to do! How did your Mocks go? I know they count for nothing but they may give you a push in the right direction!

    I think I'm gonna spend like an hour studying for the oral tonight..And I've an hour in the morning to study Irish paper 2.. Should be enough yeah? :S


  • Registered Users Posts: 807 ✭✭✭AlmightyDublin


    So I spent the day building a guitar instead of doing maths :P
    Then I realised that me maths was done already :):D
    Happy days :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Coeurdepirate


    Instead of studying for Irish I spent the evening looking at Harry Potter tattoos that I want to get. Now I'm going to watch The Woman In Black.

    I literally am screwed.

    We just won't mention the two weeks after ;) Two weeks off at Easter will definitely be all study.

    I can't take myself seriously anymore.

    Can any good sir/madam point out amount of time to spend on each section in English Paper 2? :)

    One mark per minute. :)

    So an hour for the Hamlet question, fifty minutes for the studied poetry, etc.

    is that the same for Paper 1?

    I'm not sure about Paper 1, I think there's a slight difference, but spend 70-80 minutes on the essay anyway and then half of what's left on the A part and half on the B part. :)

    To be honest, at this time of night I really don't think it's worth the effort. Personally, I'd go to sleep and glance over it in the morning because being jaded definitely does no favours :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,840 ✭✭✭Luno


    I am going to fail maths tomorrow for the fact that I couldn't have bothered to do anything for it over midterm. Great.


  • Registered Users Posts: 842 ✭✭✭ConTheCat


    Right. My irish teacher hates me since 3rd year.. In the oral she asked me about 5 questions on the debs and about colleges in Ireland. WHAT THE HELL WOMAN!!! I fired back a few sentences that made sense :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭13spanner


    English paper 1 was graaand, had a similar questions B and a similar essay done already in class.

    Maths paper 1 went árse-ways but there's always paper 2 to pull something together.

    Overall, could've been worse :cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭Siobhnk


    Woohoo I didn't fail chemistry!!!

    Guysssss, for differentiation from first principles does anyone else do it the delta y method instead of (x + h)?

    I'm not over that :( Still have nightmares about the dreaded coathanger! :(

    There's a video on Engineers Ireland somewhere that uses that method, would it not be easier to just opt for the f(x+h)?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    it was for the best!

    i dunno, i looked at it in my book and it makes no sense to me :P delta method is just so much neater looking, and it seems to be different i think? my book has (x+h) - x, we do y + delta y.

    It wasn't, I'll never accept it! :(

    If you have a look at the solutions on examinations.ie for first principals they go through both methods!

    Is anyone else's mammy putting them under so much pressure? Overheard her discussing the results I have gotten back with my aunt, I have twin cousins who are both doing the LC and are wee geniuses. I told her to NEVER discuss my results with anyone except me and dad. Then she told me I was spending too long on my ag science project. The fùcking thing has to be in before the end of march, I want to get it done. And it's not as if I'm neglecting my other subjects, I did my study in everything today before I started on the project. She's just so overbearing and guilt tripping me all the bloody time. One of my cousins got his results back and did unreal, got an a1 and a heap of bs. I don't care. I don't want class results in my mocks. And I don't believe in shouting my results from the rooftops, ok I posted earlier that I didn't fail chemistry, but that was out of pure delight because I never do well in chemistry and I managed to get a c. Oh and I also heard her saying to my aunt that she doesn't know if I'll manage a B in chemistry. Like what the hell??? Thanks for the vote of confidence there mother.
    Oh well, at least my dads sound.

    Sorry for that :/ rant over now I promise! :) just needed to vent, ye know yourselves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,298 ✭✭✭Namlub


    Posted something really similar in C&H earlier, I know how you feel. My sister's messed up in college so my mum's become obsessed with lecturing me constantly about 'the value of education' so I don't go the same way, it's getting annoying...

    Sorry to hear it, that sounds really unfair:eek:
    Seriously you know way better than either of your parents how well you can do in the lc and you don't need your mum breathing down your neck.

    Thankfully I don't have that but my mum is constantly reminding me that I'll regret my laziness when I don't get the best results that I can!

    My parents don't mind so much. It's other family and the like that believe I'm studying every day all day, and that I'm going to get over 500 points and get my first choice. They pray for me regularly, and have promised me a bit of a reward after doing well (apparently it's set in stone I'll do well!). It's not like I can tell them I'm going doing sh*te, that'd probably upset them. Ahh well, the truth will come out :D
