Are you properly studying for the LC now?

Funkstard

Just wondering how many peopl have got their act together and how many, like me, are waiting for the panic to set in before starting revising. Now I'm doing around 2 hours a night but it's all homework, maybe a small bit of oral work.

What about all of you?

Aporia

i don't do routines...

if i don't feel like studying then i just don't
the next day i could get 5 hours done [for tests and revising what i did in class]

i'm just like that i guess :rolleyes:

NADA

No

Dagnir Glaurung

According to my study plan, I should be studying Maths right now :rolleyes:

GrumPy

No

i do afterschool study at least twice a week (2hours from 4-6) grinds on saturday morning, and homework on sundays. and i still feel like ill do ****, lol

CrimE

No

I'm doing my mocks at the mo, so am studying pretty hard. The ones I have had so far have made me realise how much more I need to know so even when the mocks are over ill have to keep studyin as hard!

Raphael

Atm, I'm going to get back into serious study at easter. That may change when my mock results come back though.

abercrombie

CrimE

Afterschool Study, every day: 5.00 - 9.00pm

Thats including, I dont plan on doing any extra hours as I only need 320 points max.

abercrombie

whoa that's a lot!

casanova_kid

No

I do 3 to 4 hours a day and at the weekend maybe three hours a day, largely depending on alcohol intake though.

Stay off the sauce man

I do about 2 hours or so, I needed a break last week though after the mocks, my brain was destroyed. Mostly oral stuff, also a music mock comin up in a couple of weeks, so I'll get some Gerald Barry et all into me for that.

I just think at the moment I am so busy with oral work! seriously german is mad - so much to do! and stupid Irish I really have to start for that! I'm just studyin for tests and going over new material really. I have a history revison test on the stuf we did in september(eurpean democracy) which is a great incentive to study that!

Xylophonic

No

I'm studying hard enough, I do 3 hours grinds every Monday to Wednesday and 1 hour study afterwards and then 4 hours Thursday and Friday leaving my weekend free

OctavarIan

No

Mon-Thurs: 4pm-6pm supervised study
8pm-9pm study at home/grinds

Fri-Sun: Homework. I should really start to study on the weekends.

X-SL

no because i'm in 5th :P

smemon

i dont have time for studying, more important things to be doing.

i consider it a huge waste of time doing hours of study each night. all for what? 2 hrs in june. :rolleyes:

if i pass all my pre's which i should do, i wont do anything until after easter. Q.E.D

Funkstard

3 months yesterday to the day. 3 months on Friday since my best friend died. That timeframe absolutely freaks me out.

I go to the Library twice a week and do homework and a bit of revision. Every other day I just do homework and then play my bass (under the pretence of practising for my practical)

I'm lucky though, I can sit in class and aborb the information and then recall it during the exam. I also have a talent for bull****ting on a paper, so English and Classics should be fine.

Dean820

I'm ****ed for the Leaving Cert.. i have done nothing so far this year.. i really need to get off my ass and do something... and the oral is in like two weeks!!

willowmegs

Ive not properly studied yet. Im doing our revision thats marked in Biology and Accounting and some oral work but thats about it. Usually Im too tired after the long day of school and normal homework to attempt revision at night.

Dean820

Yeah thats like me too.. your in scholl till about 4 then you don't get home to about 5.. i'm always wrecked tired then and have no energy to study... plus you have homework to do aswell..

Exactly! I think once the entire course is done and there's only revision to give as homework we should be ok.

Limerick Dude

im in 5th year atm and i seriously need to get my act together. i do supervised study after school and some days i dont bother going. i have a serious problem studying at home. when im in school ill get motivated and think to myself ill get my act together and start studying but then when i get home i just **** the bag into the corner and go on my pc or something.

Dean820

Lmao.. same here.. i did nothing in 5th year anyway.. it was abit of a doss year...

dr.barbie

No

Im doing my best to knuckle down but its damn hard. I feel very lucky in that I had the cop on to listen in class all year and learn things as I got them, which puts me in a less stressful situation now but also makes me feel like Ill sail through June which is not the case. The next couple of months will consist of intense studying- I have to keep reminding myself not to get lazy at this late stage and f**k it all up coz Ill be gutted in August if that happens.

Limerick Dude

i know theres one thing that will get ya to study, just imagine yourself failing the leaving cert and having to repeat 6th year *shudders*

That's what is scaring me so much. Imagine in August when you don't get anywhere near what you expects. What the **** would you do? Repeat? It'd absolutely horrible not to have done your best

d4gurl

I feel burned out! i physically cannot do any work anymore!ahhh!!!

OctavarIan

No

Ugh, so much work, so little time. I wish I could skip school until june, because it's just a doss now all we're doing is tiny bits of revision. I could do more in 15 mins at home than I do in one day in school.

GrumPy

No

totally agree, i get more done in 2 hours at home/evening study, then anything i do in school, and considering most subjects courses are nearly done, studying is the better option!

Holy. ****. Why are ye wasting yer time? 320 points requires a maximum of 2 nights study for each subject. seriously.

Zapp Brannigan

Just got my Mock results. I got 330 points. Failed one subject and I had another exam cancelled cos I got kicked out So its only out of 5 subjects.
I'll bump all that up. I expect to get no less than 420 in the real thing.

willowmegs

I will probably start studying properly soon, now that I will be doing 4 honour subjects and the rest ordinary i feel more able to balance study time etc. I hope to get at least 75-79% in my honour subjects if i put the work in
