    Can't believe it's actually starting next Wednesday, in 7 days. Is everyone ready? Everyone studying like mad? Anyone nervous?

    Nervous yes, but not as much as I was before, at this stage I just want it so out of the way yano. While in a few subjects I probably wouldn't be able to sit the exam right this minute i'm fairly close to wrapping everything up.

    I'd say right not I could sit my german, geography (with a small bit more study in geo-ecology) and business exam...

    But I feel ive more to revise in english.
    go over some more questions in maths.
    and a fair bit more work in biology sadly.

    I could sit irish right now but it wouldnt make a difference, i havent opened a book yet and don;'t intend to, just want to pass.

    I thought I would be nervous but im actually not one bit.
    I was more nervous for my Junior cert.
    I actually have maybe at the most done 5hours study over the last month, I'm really not pushed on the whole thing!
    Its like just another day for me!

    It is not too late. It will require some SERIOUS effort, but I firmly beleive that I myself can go from 300 points in the mocks to 450 in the cert in 5 days.

    This of course will mean staying up till 3 or 4 in the morning and GETTING OFF THIS ****ING INTERNET!

    Good luck, don't tire yourself too much though, you'll need a lot of energy for the exam.

    I recommend coffee and lots of it.

    Thanks! As for coffee I have nothing but utter disdain for the stuff. If I need the energy boost I'll take some sudafed non-drwosy 12 hour tablets. The pseudoephedrine in it is basically methamphetamine with an extra methyl group. Works like a charm:)

    I will get plenty of sleep the night before English paper 1, and then maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout the exams.

    I find that I really only can get myself motivated under serious pressure. Hence I leave everything to the last minute. Its a horrible habit that runs in my family.
