    Yeah i agree but there seems to be subjects that usually gets highpoints if the work is put in. For me it is economics.

    Technical drawing I find absolutely unbelievably diabolically simple. It's exactly my kind of thing and I've been on top of it since 1st year. Our ****ing amazingly class teacher helps things too.

    Accounting. I was always crap at it though, but we have another brilliant teacher and I stuck at it and these last few days I've enjoyed revising it. It strikes me as such an easy exam, and I strictly wouldn't deserve an A but I'm going for it. I wouldn't naturally be good at it, but with effort and considering the teacher (we're well prepared) it becomes a simple exam.

    Maths. Loved maths forever. Got an A in the junior cert without much bother, but then I stopped working on it. Before class exams I would cram, but I would never be working on ANY maths day after day. I always did ok though. Been revising it quite a bit lately, and it will all be well-enough secured in my head in June 6 and June 9, I'm definitely hoping for a quick A1.

    I should be talking about applied maths the way I'm talking about these subjects, but I haven't given it the effort. Anyways I'm pretty looking forward to June.

    Looks like your doin well and i know what you mean about tech drawing but its something i need to keep fresh in my head so doin the past papers over the next few weeks.

    Higher level maths is a subject ive noticed a lot of people doing well in.Got a in junior easily and im puttin in the work so hopefully it'll all pay off.


    Have to put the most work in on physics because the teacher wasnt in most of last year and in a hurry he didnt teach us half the course.

    oh well.

    Oh at my other 5 subjects I'm really not good. Physics is gonna take SO MUCH effort from me and I intend to put in a......fair to good effort. If I had to name a Sh(i)t Subject it would be physics. I loved it for the JC but for LC it's just ****. Anyone else feel this way?

    From day one it was supposed to be an A to B1 for me but then I stopped liking it and I was still doing good but now I have the entire course to get back into my head. There's fair choice in the exam though, and I hear it's fairly predictable (I just haven't looked yet), and I DO intend to do fair work, so it could be a B to A yet if I have a good day. Or it could be a C and I'll pass no remarks.

    Same enough attitude to English and Irish if you lower by a grade. French, I'm doing OL having dropped from HL just about 2 months ago. I didn't wanna but the effort into a 7th HL subject. I don't care about this result but it could be an OL A. Interesting fact btw: My French teacher wants me to fail more than I care to pass, and that's no word of a lie. And I DO care to pass. (she's been in trouble with the principal for effectively bullying particular students before, and here I trot in with no willingness to spend more than 10mins doing homework and whatnot...)

    I'm well off topic now. Just don't comment on this post. There's my attitude to all my exams...

    Just kinda funny how some people's mind's work differently, for example you say biology but that is my hardest subject by a mile and the only one I failed in the pre's (though 38% aint too bad)

    For me the best point earner is honours english,
    with geography and business close behind

    Yeah Maths is grand if you've gone to class and done homework for a good lot of the two years but Applied Maths is just lovely, requires very little time altogether.

    Geography by far is the easiest subject for points. I did my leaving last year and i did it in the institute and took up geography there in sixth year. so i had not done it since 3rd year. I got an A1 after just one year whilst history which i had been doing all the time i struggled with. So Geography is an easy one as a lot of the questions are close to common knowledge, plus with the submission of the field work you already have a portion of marks in bag and do not have to worry bout it in exam

    I agree about tech drawing!! I don't think its unbelievably easy but for me I'll hopefully get an A or a high B. Its the kinda subject that ya either understand or ya don't. It's not really possible to study for it...

    Geography has to be the easiest points earner!!! I haven't done a tap and i'm hoping for an A but I do have a really interesting teacher!!!

    English is hopefully going to be an A but I have put in alot of work

    I find engineering(H) is really easy. Tech Drawing(H) is alright too, but I've done feck all since the mocks where I got 47%.

    Same result in physics(H), its easy, I understand the concept and principals of it all but haven't bothered to learn the formulas or defintions! Four weeks enough time?!

    French(O) will be grand the listening is simple. So are the notes and letters.

    Geography(H) will be grand....just learn off a few case studies. Hoping for an A!

    LCVP could have gone better, I didnt do questions worth 19 marks in the written. That 5% out the window already.

    Irish(O).....oh dear.....Haven't done a tap...I should get a t least a C if i try.

    French(O) will be grand the listening is simple. So are the notes and letters.

    Maths(O) i got a C in the mocks, but half of that is coz parts of it are different to the hons course. I didnt study for it either. Looking for an A there.

    Im not worried in the slightest, which is bad coz it means i find it impossible to do work!

    I do Ag. science and its not as easy as every1 thinks! its a really good subject 2 accompany biology tho! (the courses are EXTREMELY similar!)
    For me English, Biology and Ag. Science are the easiest for points!
