    Haha, word of advice; if you're doing a leaving cert paper for your Christmas exams - see how strong you are at them then. It's a nasty wake up call.

    I'm not getting an LC paper for any as far as I know. Hopefully not anyway!:P:P

    My strongest would be Accounting and pass Maths probably. I dropped down from honours maths afew weeks ago and I'm cursing myself as to why I didn't do it earlier! Pass maths its way easier than honours!

    then English.. but yeah those two ^!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 193 ✭✭straight_As


    Applied Maths and English!!!!!

    AM, what can I say? It's such a fun subject! I absolutely love it and it's also my strongest.

    And as for Engerlandish..... There are no wrong answers in English which is somewhat bucks the trend of the other subjects :P. It's basically just showing that you think critically and support opinions which is always a barrel of laughs........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 210 ✭✭naasface


    thats some username mate.
    Setting your sights high or what?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,645 ✭✭✭Daemos


    English and Geography


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭xOxSinéadxOx


    economics for sure. I just don't understand how anybody could find it hard. I suppose maths would be my next even though I did completly awful in the mocks! apparently I'm good irish too, my teacher always tells me that but I just need to learn the stuff :p

    He registered after his JC results I think (I think I remember that thread)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,901 ✭✭✭Twilightning


    English and music mainly, been described as a 'walking dictionary' by others in the year. :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 188 ✭✭Jack Bracken


    Definitely Geography and Technology, followed by English and Physics (when I can be bothered to pull my finger out <.< ).

    We should all set our goals high, though. ;)

    And to he/she who remembered my post-JC registration, skillz. :)

    But seriously chaps and chapettes, LC kicks the arse of the lie that An Teastas Shóisearigh........ (well apart from French...... That's just become impossibly difficult!)

    Scratch geography actually, due to the strict timings I'm quickly realising I won't get an A.

    I have a talent for retaining useless info that probably knocks out actually useful info.................mneh (Im a "He" :))

    I think there is a big jump, but its not thaaaaaaaaat bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 255 ✭✭paddyb125


    English and Geography


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 529 ✭✭✭Homicidal_jesus

    In just French or the whole LC vs JC in general?

    Tbh, I thought the standard leap between JC and LC would be far more dramatic. Not really, I suppose, in most subjects though bar French....

    Sure Irish has become obsessively long and depressing, what with that choice of poetry, but bar this minor inconvenience, I love it now.

    Still, UNFORTUNATELY, the Leaving Cert seems to be consistent with the JC, in that, it rewards regurgitation instead of creativity.

    :(

    I think the jump in Irish is much much worse, but in general the leap in everything isnt too bad (bar HL Maths which is pretty steep). I dont think the jump in French is too bad.

    I love the fact that all (all 12 poems!) have basically negative themes, its great.

    Really? I found it wasn't too bad, JC HL was fairly tough. The difference between OL and HL Irish for LC is a bit drastic though.

    Well say the level of the essays is a big jump, especially factoring in relearning the damn language after 4th year!

    Going from My Favourite Band to The Recession. Could be worse though!

    The jump in OL is quite big, that is true, I see alot of my friends who did OL JC out of laziness kinda suffering now, with the chance of them failing being pretty possible, makes me glad I put the effort in!

    Hm, I suppose. JC essays (well I did stories) were like.. 1-2 pages though, LC is 2-3. I much preferred LC Irish to JC anyway, because we got to write INTERESTING things. (Also I did abysmally writing stories in Irish... turns out you cannot simply translate flowery English prose to Irish and expect it to go well.)

    My strongest are English and Biology; love them both.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 440 ✭✭MrPain


    Biology, Chemistry, Physics and HL Maths.
    I suck at History and English though.

    Biology, Chem, App.Maths, Maths (all HL bar irish) are my strong points, unforuntaely I suck at all my languages and have neglected Physics >.>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 234 ✭✭Heggy


    Maths, Chemistry, then maybe Physics. Was doing alright at English until the Mocks, sort of lost the will when I started the Poetry Essay. I don't know what it's like for everyone else, but nothing seems to change my French mark, whether I do piles or nothing, just the same.

    English and Irish was a huge jump. And when you compare the LC science subjects to the single JC science, the jump is fairly big as well. Chemistry experiments are brilliant.
