UCD

Yep

Not too bad overall.

Had a bit of a stressful time with paper 1 in maths, paper 2 was a doddle though

Physics, Chemistry and Business all very easy

No, I think I could get where I want to be with any number of degrees

Commerce

UCC

Its going to be very tight, it was 435 last year and i think i got between 420 and 450.

Completely hyped up, I did not think i was doing the same exam sometimes,when i heard it being described as the hardest exam you will ever do. I found it to be my best year in school and actually miss the place. Just work through the year in a structured way and you will be fine. Do not listen to the media or those swoty stressed out girls desribing their "ordeal". The LC is not that bad, just enjoy it.

Maths

Business ( both of these choices are very particular to each person)

Yes, I liked school

estebancambias

So let me get this straight, in order to ignite this board again, you set out a list of boring questions. Yeah, good one.

cson

Wait a second boger account? Except he spelled the name backwards? A mark of evil genius if ever there was one. And secondly, how can you expect the board to be lively in the holidays? Most of us have to work you know.

Steve01

Law
UCC
I'm confident that I did. Though 485 points is pretty steep and it could rise this year
Grand. Surprisingly
Biology (section A only)
Pass maths
I wouldnt repeat if all the colleges in the world were flooded with piss and my school was situated in a tree

JC 2K3

Computer Science

Trinity

Easily

Grand

Probably Physics, though I messed up App Maths

Chemistry

No

No idea.

Neither, it works out cheaper in the end to fly to a Europeon festival, they're longer and there's no scumbags.

Naikon

Computing/Computer Science/Computer Applications.

DIT-Kevin street 1st/DCU 2nd

Probably

Tiring(sleep issues) and very overhyped.

Probably Physics or Business(not overly hard in the case of Business, just disappointed with the exam considering a nice B2 in the mocks:mad:)

History(OL), Maths(OL) was handy enough too.

No ****ing way

I couldent care less:)

after this years ****** ,EP will probably be my next venue.

Yes they can. The college decides how many students they want in a course.
It's generally always followed the pattern that if the number of places go down and demand remains relatively static, that the points will go up.

Are u sure that's true, i went to a lecture in trinity at the open day and the lecturer told us that they wanted to have more places for said course but the GOVERNMENT are keeping the numbers of places down on purpose:mad:

Mushy

how did u find the leaving cert exams?As a whole...over-hyped. Some individual ones were tough, some easy enough

No idea about the quote but after looking back on other posts, I'm inclines to say Shaw!

As Jc2K3 said, neither! And for the same reasons too.

Some courses are regulated from above, but for the rest the college can decide, yes. Obviously if a college decides tomorrow to give 500 extra medicine places the Minister for Education would probably step in and open a can of whoop-ass over someone's head, but in the Universities at least they are free to do what they like in relation to the creation and deletion of courses. In Trinity, it was previously agreed that the max level of undergraduate students was set to remain at 11,500 (I think) or there abouts, but I remember reading something recently which said that this decision from 2003 or 2004 or so was changed to allow further undergraduates. Plus didn't you know that lecturers know everything?

As someone said to me before about Trinity: sure why let something like the Irish Government decide what's best for Trinity, given that relatively speaking they've only been around for a few years! There are countless arguments against this, but it's funny all the same.
