    Like, I think I want to be a doctor and I know you have to get above a certain amount of points then sit an aptitude test but what is the college course. Is it six years of college, a year interning...I'm not really sure.

    Also do I need to do biology and chemistry or can I just do biology. Is it worth doing physics? I'm not sure if I could get A1's in chem and physics you see.

    You've to sit the apt. test before your leaving cert.

    It's either a 6 or 5 year course depending on what subjects you're doing; I'm doing Chem, Bio, and Physics, and if I do well enough there's an option for me to do the 5 year course.

    Imo physics is much easier than chemistry! And with the new maths tables, you can start most questions without having a clue :) (bar maybe the experiments; but they're fairly handy going anyway!)

    This should help some more:
