Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

Leaving Cert 2016/17 Off-Topic Thread
-
12-08-2015 4:32pm#1So, now that the results are out, methinks it's time to accept our fate as the new 5th Years.
I'm personally looking forward to it, at very least it will bring an end to hanging around the house doing nothing.
In before "Ah here lads give us a chance to change over, we're still using the current 5th Year thread etc. "
How's everybody else feeling about it?0

One part of me is like "Yeah, bring it on!" but then another part of me is like "No, I wanna re-do TY!"
But overall, I'm kind of looking forward to the challenge. (I'll be reading this back two weeks into fifth year and be like "Eww no, what was I thinking?!")0 -

TY was great, and I learnt so much from it, but I'm really looking forward to 5th year.0 -

What do people want to do after the Leaving Cert, like which courses/career paths are you guys interested in??
Teaching, Engineering, Speech Therapy, Politics...very very vague idea of what I want to do0 -

Something to do with healthcare or science. I'd love to do something like pharmacy. Biomedical science, biotechnology or being a paramedic are up there too. 0 -

First post on boards
TY was great craic but I can't even remember how to hold a pen so I'm actually looking forward to 5th year (I'll probably eat those words). Starting back 1st September.
Other than the holy trinity I'm doing physics, history, biology and french, and probably economics as an extra subject 0 -

I'm back on the 2nd of September. Seems pretty late compared to previous years but I'll take it. :P
Did anyone do anything interesting over the summer?
I was just working, swimming and playing tennis.
Nothing much, went out with my friends most days and spent the rest of the time lazing around the house
I was planning on getting a job but that didn't happen...
I have the theory test booked for next week though so at least that's one productive thing I'll have done :P0 -

I recommend using this site http://quizglobal.com/ViewQuizByID.aspx?QuizID=161
I paid €18 for the official DTT book but I didn't really end up using it. That site (while unofficial), has every question in the book and is free and very user friendly. If you sign up you can mark off the questions you find hard and redo them when you want.0 -

There's a really long wait (or at least there was when I booked) so if you wanted October you'd probably have to book it now0 -

Oh okay thanks a million I will take a look my mam bought me the official DTT CD because my brother will be taking the test next summer (fingers crossed the edition doesn't change).
@teafanatic- Yeah, I really must book that test: I can't wait to start the actual lessons but for some reason my mind just refuses to think about the theory...0 -

I can relate, I have it in a few days time and I haven't studied in about a month... oops
I find most of it quite boring and obvious but I wanted to get it out of the way since I won't have as much time in 5th year :P
Love doing lessons, they're great craic 0 -

Yup i'm gonna be making the majority of my notes for LC in 5th year, so I won't be as stressed when studying in 6th year. A lot of work and time needed but it will be worth it!!! 0 -

I have mixed feelings about it- on the one hand, if it reduces random selection (which is really cruel on those who have the points for their course but miss out as a result of not having the luck of the draw), it's a good thing but anyone aiming for high enough points e.g. a mix of A1s and A2s are going to find it more of a challenge now to get these high points for their course due to A2s and B1s becoming H2s. I am still dubious as to whether it will take the heat out of the points race; all that I can see happening is people busting a gut trying to move from the middle of one grade bracket up to the bottom of the next grade bracket- much the same as they do now.
But sure, only time will tell how this is going to work out- I wish the Dept of Education would release some more information on how this is going to work...0 -
Significant399 wrote: »How does everyone feel about the new grading system for us?
Right now I'm thinking its a bad think because someone who gets 89% will get the same amount of points as someone who got 80%.
But maybe in two years time I'll feel different if I am the person who gets 80% I'd be happy to get the same amount of points as someone who got 89%0 -
Significant399 wrote: »How does everyone feel about the new grading system for us?
im kinda against it. i think it puts alot more pressure on students who generally perform well and less pressure on those who are satisfied by just passing0 -
