I'll be giving it a stab this year. I'm expecting to be repeating the following year though,

serious faith in my ability.

Bbbbolger · 23-08-2011, 23:52

Dont think like that mate! A year is a lot of study time. If you put in the effort you'll be rewarded. That was the most obvious thing I saw after the results in my school. It was the people who did a lot of work as opposed to the lazy but gifted types who did well.

you have lots of time, make sure you apply yourself,and even if you do not get it, you shouldnt be far off and repeating will be easier

Hi,

I seem to remember buried in the hpat 2011 thread something about bonus maths points. Is it true if you did Higher LC maths this year ie 2011 and got a D3 or above then you will get the bonus points in 2012?? So if you got say 500 LC will that now be 525 LC points??

25 points are massive in terms of hpat scores-won't this skew the combined points for medicine in favour of those that have done higher maths?????????

No, I think they've thought up something for that, they'll only give you a certain amount of points, maybe 5 or something. Kind of like if you get 600 points you only get 565+ whatever your HPAT is.

I don't have a clue if that made any sense to anyone, it did in my head

I sat the LC in 2007, did a natural science course and only got a 2.2 so no graduate med (Despite getting enough GAMSAT points) for me...

Therefore here I am:
Doing a hDip in IT as well as sitting the HPAT as well as resitting the GAMSAT (In the hopes of getting into grad med UK) while also resitting the Leaving Cert.
I've got from now until June to start completely from scratch, taking up physics and chemistry and also upping to higher level maths...
Gosh I'mma be in for a rough year...
