    The physics exam is 2 days from now, and there's a 60% chance i'll totally fail it ..i would just like to know if i'll still be able to get into my course choice since most of 'em are engineering and sciences... is a science subject really a minimum requirement? coz from what i read about the details of my course choices (most are CIT), only 2 c3's and 4 d3's are required...nothing mentioned about science subjects...just plz assure me about this T_T

    If your worried, drop to pass. Your given the formulae, couldnt be any more simple. Im just presuming that your not counting it for points if you are possibly failing it.

    If it's not mentioned in the course requirements, then it won't matter if you fail it ... but, as a matter of interest, if Physics isn't one of your strong subjects why do you want to go into Science/Engineering? :confused:

    wow, that's a relief coming from you :)
    i just took physics coz i already wanted to do science/engineering, and our school insisted that we should study at least one science and one language subj..but our physics teacher is unmotivated to teach...

    1. 6 Subjects. 2 Higher level C3's, one of which must be HC3 in maths OR HC3 in applied maths AND HD2 in maths.

    2. 2HC3's and 4OD3's.

    3. As above.

    4. As above.

    5. As above.

    6. HD3 or OB3 in maths.

    7. As no. 6.

    8. Maths: OC3/HD3.

    9. As no. 8.

    I'd go through them all again, thoroughly, on qualifax.ie.

    Edit: It doesn't say that you need physics (or any science for that matter) for any of your courses - as far as I saw, anyway. But, don't take my word for it, check yourself to be sure.

    I also find it weird that you're failing Physics but still doing Engineering... Oh well, maybe you'll do better in college.

    yeah so you can fail physics but if you did 7 subjects you have to pass the rest, so i'd have a good look at the pass past papers from www.examinations.ie and the marking scheme. Or else if you think you need the HD3 in physics for 45 points then you could chance it.

    mmmmm i would go hell for leather trying to pass ordinary level anyway. What if for example you got an E in english because (and i know this is like a million to one shot) just say there was a fekup with your paper 2 and they forgot to add on your marks for it. Then by the time you got a recheck to get your 6th pass your college place would be gone.

    This is a golden opportunity to get an OD3 in physics. Go for it :D

    i think i'm secured with my other subjects, but if there was some fekup u say, then i'd totally screw it up...even if i try to do it seriously, i think i'll just fail it..i'm doing higher and i didn't think about changing it to ordinary coz of the points...anyway, i'll just do it the best i can...
