If you need to you should.It's only a year and could help you become what you want

xxGalwayGirlxx

A PLC is only a year, way easier and you can get up to 400 points in the end!

I quite agree with you there, theres backways into just about everything if you're willing to spend enough time doing it! :P

irish_boy90

No

i am note sure...if i fail maths what other choice would i have?

PurpleFistMixer

I couldn't do it to myself again. I always knew I never wanted to repeat, after watching people go through it once it's bad enough, so I'm pretty sure I haven't failed now. If I don't get the 350 or so points I need to get the lowest points course I want, then I'm probably not set to be a scientist, and I'll go and become a penniless artist, living on the streets.

But yeah. There are always other roots. If the other roots don't work, you can always apply to college as a mature student. Once is plenty.

muffinman

NO! I really can't ever see myself doing it all over again.. EVER... I'll take my lowest choice before ever repeating

BJC

I'd rather work in shell garage for the rest of my life! Couldn;t do it again, I know it'd be of no use to me, I just don't have the right mind set to repeat. I'd resent every second I was there even more than I did before!

Riverperson

No way. I just couldn't do it. All the stressing and all the work...
No if I don't get my first choice than I'll live with it and just take my second, etc.
Thankfully I like al the options I put down.
But no, I wouldn't repeat the leaving, not an ice-cubes chance it hell!!

cHaTbOx

No

I would never want to repeat but if it was more positive to what i was going to do in life i would

moonflower

Never! I only want to do a plc anyway, so I don't have any need to.
If I decide to go to uni I can get into lots of courses with the plc.

Michellenman

Where's the ''I just did'' option?

Redisle

No way would I repeat.. I could never sit down and study the exact same dam subjects all over again. Repetition gets so incredibly boring.

rossom

No

Tell me about it. I was doing biotech in Maynooth after like a week i knew i hated it. If you hate something after a week then you're not gonna grow to love it. It's better to spend a year of your life repeating than spending 40 years in a job you despise.

oleary91

No

eoin2nc

No

I f I really messed up, which doesnt like likely now- I hope:p, I would repeat. But I drop Irish and English

gaz d

No

I would if i didnt get my points or reqs. i wouldnt do a course i hate.

florencexxx

Hell no. :P

alan4cult

No

I would repeat if I didn't get the points. It's just another year!

KeyLimePie

No

If i don't get my C1 in french i'm repeating it

fivetwenty

Not bragging or anything but my worst case scenario from this point with two subjects left is 400 points, which is still a good score - so no.

I wouldn't anyway as I did TY

I am currently repeating..

DON'T DO IT!

dez_warlock

I always said I would never repeat either until it finally came down to it. I was short by 5 points for my course with 395. I knew I could have done much better so I repeated and it was the best decision of my life.

I felt more mature heading in to college and got lucky also as if I had passed the first time I would've had to move away for college but by the time the second time came around the course had been set up in UCC. It's great as you can tak up new subjects and it's much easier too as you've done most of the stuff before.

In the end I got 505 points have just finished 2nd year of college and I'm loving it!

louise-x

No way in hell man.

I'm not one of those really ambitious types so if i didnt get my course, i'd choose something else.

wouldn't be worth doing that year again

axel-offbeat

I don't think I could survive another year...but i think I might have failed maths so I dunno..

xox Sarah xox

ye same here, and the crap thing about your leaving is that youve to put it on your c.v when applying for a job, so your gonna be constantly judged by how well you did in your leaving!
Its insane because really and truly the leaving cert doesnt always reflect how good a person is?
But its good to atleast have it at the end of the day even if you do ****e in it..
Im gonna be doing a plc so Im gonna use the FETAC thingy to get me into the college I want if I dont get the points I need.

absssoluuutely not..(said like dr.cox from scrubs in an elongated kinda way)

Twee.

God no, but I know I'm safe points wise. If I REALLY wanted to do a specific course and didn't make the points I'd consider it, but there are back doors into everything.

King Ludvig

Not.a.hope!

No

Yeah I probably will. I didn't really work this year.

BoozyBabe

No

Well, I just repeated Irish yesterday & today, 11 years after 1st sitting it.

Was stuck in a tiny classroom yesterday for the aural, squashed in like sardines along with all you regular guys!

I felt like such a dinosaur!

I would never have repeated the whole LC, as like returned the following year to sit it all over again.

& I never want to relive this experience either. Of all exams to be repeating!!!!!! :eek:

Lia_lia

I repeated this year. Was grand. It's only one year out of your life and if you really want something it won't hurt. Then again, I did way less work than I should have.

Mars Bar

No

I am repeating...I said last year I would NEVER repeat but didn't have much choice at the end of the day. I wouldn't do it again next year. God no. But if I was doing the LC for my first time again, I would say Yes. It has definitely been one of the best things I have had to do in my 18 and 11/12ths of my life!

1huge1

Ive covered myself with my CAO,
Ill admit though If I didnt get any of my top 3 subjects id consider repeating, all the same I should deffo get at least one of them.

EmilioB

Speaking from experience i would recommend to anyone to repeat the leaving if they are not happy with their results. It's only a year, you could quite possibly waste a few years in college doing a course you didn't want to begin with, and the more points you have the more options you have. I didn't repeat it but if i had the chance again i would because i feel i could have done better. Also it's not as torturous second time round...i'd say!

kwestfan08

No

If you had of asked me on June 3rd it would have been a flat "yes if I had to" but now that I've done it, I'm not so sure. As same of the other posts said, its only one year out of your life do to what you want for the rest of your life so I probably would.

plug-in-baby

NEVER!! im not going through that hell again !!

melboix

I wouldn't mind, but I'd prefer not to. I'd be a bit old methinks, and I did TY so a change is probs a good idea at this stage I don't think the LC's been all that bad, tbh, but it's a lot of stress to put yourself under again. If it's for something you really want, I don't see why you wouldn't.

irishbucsfan

If i got less than 300 points...

Yes

If not, no.

and will you??

Drakmord

I got 550 point last year and I ended up repeating.
Felt so old going back to 6th year
It isn't as bad the second time round.
Going for Med/Dentistry btw

drunknmunky_69

No

Im repeating it at the minute and its not actually that bad...I always said i wouldnt becuase ive already done TY so most my friends were a year ahead.But if you really want a course its worth repeating. The year flew by and i felt i was a lot more focused this year.
