Don't worry, you'll be grand! I did grade 5 in 12 weeks and grade 6 with learning one literally 4 weeks before and I still got a high honours in both. Many examiners aren't too bad! Just try to do as much practice as you can and get your scales fluent and you will be finebluejaymraz wrote: »
6. I've always done my exams in the session before christmas which is probably the worst time because you get half of it done before the summer and then have to patch it it up after summer when you've only got a few weeks before the exam is bearing down on you like is happening me now
. I love it but I'm starting to get sick of it at the same time after doing 6/7 grades in 6 years 
I probably wont have much time, if any, to keep it up after christmas what with mocks and orals and then the lc.........:(
On another note, how much homework does everyone get? I get so much, sometimes I don't finish until after 10/10.30 and that's only homework, no study! My weekends are filled with nothing but homework from Friday evening so basically I don't get any study done despite me really needing to do some!
Cannot wait for midterm to a) sleep and b) catch up on work and do some study. How sad is that?! :P0 -

Nah I meant like, what homework did you get?CookieMonster.x wrote: »Last night I think I started at around 5.30ish and finished at maybe 9.30ish, not totally sure though. This leaving cert is messing with my mind :P
sorry didn't make that clear at all! 0 -
Ohh sorry, I did say my mind is gone! :P I had an essay to finish, chemistry exam Qs, French comprehension and learn, maths Qs, Irish grammar Qs, small comprehension Qs, correct a test, write out a picture sequence, Part of a question in accounting (takes a while) and biology exam questions x2. It mightn't seem like a lot but it takes quite a while to do! Hopefully it won't be as bad after Halloween.Nah I meant like, what homework did you get? sorry didn't make that clear at all!0 -

I'm the opposite - I always aim for March-ish so as not to clash with school exams I know what you mean though, I love it but before my grade 8 I was really getting sick of exams and stuff, but it's worth it so stick with it! I wouldn't worry about it, you'll be grand! Are you doing music for the LC? If not, you can always take a break from it for the year. 0 -

It should't be to be honest They tend to ease off on the hw the longer the year goes on and just really leave it up to with regards to what work you do. And from Christmas onward the hw and study overlaps because most hw at that stage will just be exam papers and revision questions and the like. Take it from a repeat 0 -

No I'm no doing music for the LC. I was thinking about it but I wasnt mad about the idea and then it clashed with my other subject choices so I had to rule it out. My piano teacher (whose also my cousin) did say that she'd teach me it if I wanted because she a music teacher in another school. I did it for the JC and it was my worst result even though it was a B. She said that LC music was a whole other kettle of fish and that I could do very well in it but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.......... I dont want to give up on the piano though because I know that once I get over the exam I'll start to love it again.iLikePiano99 wrote: »I'm the opposite - I always aim for March-ish so as not to clash with school exams I know what you mean though, I love it but before my grade 8 I was really getting sick of exams and stuff, but it's worth it so stick with it!

What are you all hoping to do in college next year? I would really love to do Bio-pharmaceutical Chemistry at the moment in NUIG but points went up 80 points last year from 415 to 495! :O Don't think i'd be able to achieve that
One piece of advice, even if you don't think it's going to happen, put it as #1 on your CAO if you really want it. I wanted to do Psychology in 5th year, then decided in 6th year to take it off thinking I wouldn't get the points to do it. Ended up getting the points and got my #1 of Civil Law and Business in NUI Maynooth, did it for a week, hated it and dropped out.
Thankfully, a week later I requested an internal transfer into Psychology in NUI Maynooth. I really didn't think i'd get in as I was 3 weeks behind and had only gotten 5 points over the cut-off for 2012 (I got 525, points were 520). Anyway, I ended up getting my place in Psychology and I absolutely love it!
I'm so happy where I am in it at the minute and know it's just perfect for me! 
So yeah, go with your gut and if you want something (even though you mighn't think it'll happen, LEAVE IT ON YOUR FECKING CAO.. :P)0 -
What are you all hoping to do in college next year?
I am inbetween two courses at the moment, Music Performance in the Royal Irish Academy of Music - it was only 180 points this year including a huge interview/audition which will probably stop me from getting in :mad: or Music and Irish TSM in Trinity, which was approx 540 points this year... although I'm not too sure if I'll manage to get that 0 -

Anyone else get a feck load of work to be done over midterm? :P We have been swamped with stuff!
I didn't get that much...like not as much as I was expecting. Poetry question, major melody and harmony for music, Maths full Paper 2, Biology exam questions... Then just general revision in other subjects. I've November exams the week after we come back so even though I don't have much homework, I have to study for all of those 0 -
