    The only exams where you use any sort of "Logic" are Maths, Physics, and English.

    You got me.:) English is the only exam where I had to take a step back and think
    before writing down something. Paper two on the other hand is mostly information
    recall however.

    He was in a bit of a twizzle because I suggested that english is
    equivalent to Logical analysis/deduction/whatever!

    Paper two English does demand a lot of retention simply because its looking for a deeper level of understanding from a text than you can get directly from a 3 hour exam; unlike paper one. I mean you COULD just rewrite the entire text to paper, and still get a fat 0 (but you know that)

    The OP ignored sound advice and made some (imo) very stupid choices, but personal insults are not condoned, Ava.

    Ok here's my quick guide:
    English HL Paper 1:

    Have a scan through exam papers, look at the type of questions being asked. Read over ur essays u've done over the past 2 years and see where your downfalls are. Look at the comprehensions and see if you can identify the criteria being looked for in the question, you will be asked about how the author reveals him/herself or the style of language used ie. Persuasive, narritave, informative or arugument -Practice Practice Practice. Look at the composing question and see which question you think you can answer best and answer a question random year - its worth 100mks!

    English Paper 2 HL:
    Read over 3 of your poets and try learn them off, look at the questions and figure out what you would say in the exam if you were asked.
    Read over your Single Text, your notes and essays from over the last year, note what you could do better. Read an analysis of the characters online by google searching the characters name and the name of the text. www.sparknotes.com - brilliant for shakespeare notes.
    Have a read of notes on your comparative study and take a look at your essays you've done over the year. There is loads of notes on www.skoool.ie

    Best of luck
    David
    fair play.

    just prepare to dream about this situation about once a week for at least the next 17 years. Take it from me :( Otherwise, everything will be fine, leaving or no leaving.

    How did you get on?

    I did shag all study for the LC but I do have very good understanding in classes and retention of knowledge so I pulled out 445 with very little conventional studying.

    Same with college exams, cannot sit in the library and study reams of notes, prefer to just think over lectures and basically talk to myself about them.

    Haha, I'm in the very same boat. Just go and give it loads! Study the night before each exam. You'd be surprised what you can do by cramming.

    OP you started a thread just like this only 3 weeks ago.

    So youve continued to sit on your ass.

    Personally, you're on your own at this stage.

    +1

    Studying sucks, it's the hardest thing in the world to do IMO, but you know what's harder? Trying to find a good job when you've SFA in the way of qualifications. Cop the f*ck on, you're master of your own destiny.

    I think everyone should relax.

    I care about the leaving cert, I do. At the same time, I am still aware that everything will still exist after the results come out. And continue to exist.

    No study? Dont get into college? Big deal... Move on.

    Richard Branson doesnt have a college diploma.
    You don't know what life will throw at you.
    At the same time... you SHOULD probably hop off this and into your room to study.:D

    OK cant be bothered reading the whole thread as im going to study now :p

    OP, if you have not studied at all and you failed everything in the mocks you will not get the points you need. the only advice i can give you is to drop down to ordinary for the two higher subjects and study as much as you can for the next week or so. try to get any points you can.

    Yes but theres a difference there with Dick Branson, and thats he worked hard to get what he has. He made the right calls, the right investments, and worked hard. In comparison, getting your [High School Degree] would be a cakewalk.
