    I just finished the leaving cert today

    if i had to give advice it would be to keep doing your homework...i know i know its annoying

    keep up a good social life...and i wouldn't advise going drinking 2 nights before an exam :(.some people that i know drank a few shots the night before the leaving started to cool the nerves.don't stoop as low as them....actually this will probably be forgotten about by june 2009

    i thought that this week has been one of the longest in my life

    Do absolutely nothing for tranisition year and 5th, then panic in 6th year and cover whole course on every subject till you could teach it yourself at xmas then pace yourself till june e-z

    people told me this stuff over and over and i just didnt do any of it, no matter how much i wanted to. they got to go through it just like we did. all this study advice is much easier said than done since we have the leaving behind us.

    I just completely put my leaving off. If I could go back, i'd have done more study for my Xmas exams and done more work in the first term. But that is so hard to do.

    (woo...there are foxes fighting outside my house...)

    • get grinds!!!

    Grinds are not for everyone. You should only be getting grinds if you really need to stay at the level you are in and can't afford to drop down. Or if you really need the help to bring up our grades because you might not get the points you want.

    I am a teacher and see far too many students getting grinds in a HL subject then really they don't need it. They should go to OL and spend the grinds time on other subjects, potentially giving them higher grades them instead!

    Just do your homework, properly and completely all year. Study each chapter as it comes and answer questions on it.

    Simple, but its all you need. Quick revision then at the end of the year, and itl all come back

    Best advice there, I did sweet fuck all study except the night before really and I've done pretty good so far.

    The no study method only works if you're shooting for anything up to 450, if you want above that, I guess you really have to hit the books.

    I agree there aswell, did geaogrpahy grinds in Trinity back in February, not only were they **** but I couldn't remember a thing she told us with regards to tips and hints.

    I advise you not to be thinking of the LC already........ Enjoy your summer, do a bit of work up to Christmas, crank it up after.

    I'd recommend next year's 6th years to not tell the truth in the irish oral. Believe me, i speak from experience: (translated)
    Examiner: So what do you think about the status of irish?
    Me: Well to be honest, it's kind of a dying language... (examiner looks shocked. I can see myself crashing and burning but yet i continue...) Like i mean in twenty years it won't exist. I don't plan on speaking it after the leaving cert. It's a pity but like, it's the truth...
    Examiner: (looks a bit angry) So why do you go to a gaelscoil?
    Me: Uh my sisters went here
    Examiner: Right...

    aw thanks for such a nice Thread ..:p thanks guys for sharing ur experience..

    um ,ehh, tbh i was more 'scared' to going to 5th yr than now, i don't know like, the reality of going in 6th yr, doing the LC hasn't kick in yet, and i don't know when it will

    i was talking to my 6th years frens, they were like the only bit of advice that i would give to you it START STUDYING NOW..

    i am just too lazy, i was saying to myself last summer,that i would work hard in 5th yr, and i only ended up kept it up until xmas..i hope i have more determination and get over my laziness

    In any test Work very hard for it, it helps then for the leaving cert as it's likely to come up.
