Your post was difficult to read. I recommend you get a working keyboard.

When to study depends entirely on the person involved. I find I can't remember things I do late at night, so after about 10 or 11pm, study is a lost cause for me. If it's going to happen, I do it when I'm just home from school, before I have time to settle into doing lazy things.

I don't know how you are at French so it's difficult to tell... the Oral and Aural account for 55% of it, so if you can do well in them, you don't need to do so well on the written paper to get a pass... Maybe learn some useful phrases for sticking into writing pieces, I find if a grammar question comes up on the reading passage it's handy enough (ie "find an example of the passé composé in the second paragraph"), if you know how to spot them... (stuff like adverbs tend to end with "-ment"). I think French ultimately boils down to vocabulary though. Good vocabulary and you're set for the reading comprehensions, so provided you can form sentences you'll be grand for the writing bit too.
Make sure you know your basic verbs (aller, etre, avoir, prendre, the ones that come up frequently), too.

45% i think!

.. Yeah. 20% + 25% = 45%, I realise in retrospect.

Hm. I'm sitting my Maths mock tomorrow.
Oh well.

Deadly? So does that mean an A1 in Irish or an F?

Cram, cram, cram!

hippety-pippety

how much time does everyone spend studying after school? and how long per subject, and how many subjects a day?

also my mocks start tomorrow with music - does anyone have any good notes because we dont use a book so im relying on getting notes from the internet or a revision book
if anyone can recommend anything pls do
cheers
