    That's just a bit more than my class!

    Ouch! :( Did you have a teacher missing at some point?

    well i have basically all the old books done just need 2 revise and do new book got a D2 only but highest in my school c1 so not to bad.

    Repeating could always be an option for me, I set my standards way too high! :(

    . i aimed for medicine got 455 and 179 in hpat so 95 points short. most people dont get first choice so make sure u pick loads of options and really research them. if you go to higher options in dublin go to talks on what you want 2 do i was doing law up till then. I my 9th choice galway science. my best friend put 4 courses down and got no offers. always research course requirements and have back ups if you dont meet them.

    Amazingly no, they should have forced people to move to pass and they didn't, so everything took forever. We spent an unbelievable amount of time on the line and the circle, which were so easy.

    @ Eoin Cunliffe 94 - couldn't agree with you more. I did after school study for the first time last year and it was really helpful, I actually did my homework to a good standard, and then did a bit of study.

    Will drop to pass maths tomorrow....FINALLY:rolleyes:

    Does anyone know where I can get one of those big year planners for your wall? I got one last year sent to me from the institute of education (it was advertised in the Independent) but they don't seem to be doing them this year.

    My French teacher had an emotional breakdown in class today. Honestly, he started crying for no apparent reason, several times. It was one of the most uncomfortable moments of everyone's lives.

    School will be so much easier once I drop to pass German. I can't handle it anymore, I'm going mad.

    Once that's out of the way, I might stand a chance of surviving the year!

    Can someone tell me whether you only count the extra points for maths if it's in your top 6 without the extra points, or if you get 25 extra just for doing it. My guidance counsellor told us it had to be in your top 6, then you count the points, so if it was your lowest at a b1, which would be 85 points (110 with the extra) you would still count the A2 (or A1) at 90 or 100 points instead..just need it cleared up.

    You know they way you've to learn picture stories for the Irish and German oral, and the examiner picks one at random. If you got a ''sound'' examiner, would they ask you which one you want? It's not like anyone would know... Just a thought :D

    Probably not, although I heard that this happened to a friend of a friend, so you never know! When I did it, the 2nd or 3rd fella that went in was convinced that the 'Pass Verloren' sheet was a lighter shade of yellow! It wasn't :p

    Not so much a study plan, as a study regime.
    Evening study start in my school on Monday, so im gonna do that, from 4pm-6pm, then home,get dinner, and library at 7pm-9pm. So that's a guaranteed 4hrs a day, which i think is enough to keep me going til at least Christmas. Prob do written homework in evening study, and revision/notes/ and other learning in the library.
    Doing hr level everything at the moment, but thinking of dropping to ordinary irish, since its totally useless for any college courses(bar primary school teaching), and I will have 7 other honors to choose from (well, depending if i stick with applied maths or not...)
    Aiming for around 550 in the lv cert, applying for medicine in a few weeks now...*gulp*
