We never even covered any of the Mechanics chapters in school and many people are gonna ignore electricity chapters too. It might catch you out a little bit in Question 5, but we should be fine.

Rishky business there :P I'm covering everything apart from light, in the DEB mock the question wasn't nice at all and completely threw me off it!
Took the day off today and completely covered all of particle physics, the electron, radioactivity and nuclear physics... Think I'll take tomorrow off :pac:

Canard · 27-04-2012 9:59pm

Arghhhhh maths is such a challenge. I hate knowing that this all makes perfect sense and I just cant see it at all!

Integration test got deferred to Wednesday and I'm thinking my maximum score will be 60% if I get full marks in the (a) and (b)'s - which is rather difficult for me, but the (c) parts dont even deserve mentioning :pac:

I'd love to get a B in the LC but I'd be happy with what I can get at this point!

Papers, papers, papers only discovered recently how it actually is SO much better to work through papers occasionally using the book for reference than just reading the book.

What our teacher tells us is: learn all experiments very well. It's not that difficult because a lot of them are very similar. Okay, that's 30% of your exam already.

Learn the Electron, Atom, Nucleus & Radioactivity, Fission/Fusion/Nuclear Energy and Particle Physics chapters. They are definitely the easier chapters compared to mechanics or electricity. In a good year you might have a whole 2.5 full questions on the paper based on these 4 chapters! In a bad year you will have at least one long question.

Then what I will do is revise light, heat, wave chapters. They are not overly difficult either and the odds are you will have enough to answer 5 questions in Section B.

We never even covered any of the Mechanics chapters in school and many people are gonna ignore electricity chapters too. It might catch you out a little bit in Question 5, but we should be fine.

Hope this helped a little bit

Thank you! I'm abandoning optics because I hate it, but my main questions will be waves, heat, electricity, modern physics and maybe mechanics depending on how I'm feeling.

My problem is maybe I haven't done enough stuff with the marking scheme, I'm always missing the bolded word even though I know the answer to the question. Like I know and understand all the stuff, but I'm always missing 3 marks here and 3 marks there! So frustrating.

Freaking out about the HPAT results on Monday. I don't even want to know them at this stage. Just gonna find a corner to sit in and cry.

David1994 · 27-04-2012 11:03pm

Ah well I always get a lot done so...

Togepi · 28-04-2012 12:33am

Canard · 28-04-2012 12:43am

Togepi · 28-04-2012 12:46am

Coeurdepirate · 28-04-2012 9:02am

It's okay Togepi, I don't have a clue what it is either!

Canard · 28-04-2012 12:27pm

Yaaaaaaaay my sequences and series homework worked out, I love this chapter, its not so bad

Yet :P
Its the telescoping series bit, but we havent actually gotten to the "telescoping" :pac: BUT STILL, I FEEL SMART.

Also, I sneezed and I think I broke my neck.

My dad said its called rye-neck but when I googled it, it sounded pretty...bad :pac:

Eathrin · 28-04-2012 1:12pm

Can't wait for that feeling of freedom. Weekends just aren't doing it for me anymore.

Coeurdepirate · 28-04-2012 3:35pm

I've been thinking over the last week or so that as much as I can't wait to get the leaving cert over, one thing that I'll actually really miss is the banter here with all of ye! We should add each other on facebook before it's all over!

BL1993 · 28-04-2012 3:44pm

Someone give me motivation to write english essays. I despise them. V.V

So apparently I subconsciously know more Irish than I think I do. Had a dream last night where I was doing my oral and the examiner asked me what I do on the beach, and I started going on about building sandcastles. If you'd asked me how to say "I like to build sandcastles" while conscious, I wouldn't have been able to tell you. I checked it this morning though and what I was saying in the dream was right :pac: If only I'd known of this superpower before my real oral!

Siobhnk · 28-04-2012 4:28pm

Yeah add me on twittaaah too! :P

Namlub · 28-04-2012 4:30pm

Say whaaat?! :eek: I'm doing the Leaving twice and I'm going on a combined total of zero holidays. :cool:

I don't even care, I'm going to a concert after this year's one so that'll do me fine!
