Study help?

For english, take each poem your doing one at a time, write down the main points about the theme on a piece of paper and the quotes you would use in an answer to back them up, then do the exact same but focusing on the stylistic features of the poem. For your play, find all the past questions that have ever been asked and make sure by the end of the year you know how to answer them all.

For biology, study a chapter, then go to the table at the front of the exam papers and do every question in the exam papers that has to do with that question. Do this for every chapter and experiment.

For french, you have to practice listening at least once a week. And for grammer and essays, pick out a title that you want to write about for example, your house, write out what you want to say in english, then use your dictionary and textbook to translate what you've written in english to french. Honestly I never found sitting down and learning verbs efficent. I found that reptition and using the same words over and over was what allowed me to remember them better.

For geography, it's all about learning essays. go to past exam papers, do the essay questions and file them away for when you need them at the end of the year.

Honestly thats it, remember, the most important thing about studying is that it's consistent, I remember taking week breaks throughout the year where I just did homework and the bare mimnum because I felt tired but when i tried to study again I found it really difficult. Leaving cert year is not like any school year, the next 9 or so months will revolve around your study and nothing else, ye it sucks but everyone has to go through it. It's difficult to look around and see that people are going out and getting hammered during the weekend while your studying but they're apporaching the year wrong to be honest. Everyone in my year who got over 500 sacrificed a lot of their social life to succeed and it paid off. I'm not saying give up your friends and any social activities you would like to do, but you'll have to comprimise. Maybe instead of going out once a week, go out once a month.
