points question

GretchenWieners

are they supposed to be going up or down in most courses this year? i'm just wondering!

You will know when the CAO rounds are published.

Sorry for sounding like a prick, but it really makes no sense to ask
this question. The places are static, whereas interest for
those places is variable.

Points can either go up or down, or both.
My course went up by 20 points last year when I thought it would go down....
Never assume points are dependent upon anything other than supply and demand.

i know,i had the same problem as yourself, the points went up. any idea if there are more or less people doing the LC this year?

Fremen

Take an average over five years and aim for maybe twenty points above that. That should give you a decent chance of getting what you want.

I really don't know to be honest, but judging by last year, aren't the number of applicants for the leaving cert going down?

Our yearmatster said that when there's a slump in the ecomomy the points go up...
