I know! What the hell are we doing? Although I think that homework will be enough for now. I would love to be able to study though

Conor108

Kinda just waiting for teachers to lessen the homework load. Then I will be able to study more in the evenings without being wrecked;)

DancingQueen:)

I keep saying i'll start studying and never do. Looking at the points i need it's given me a boost to start working so i did a good bit today. I looked at each subject and exactly what i had to do in the exam, how much time to spend on each section ect. and it was daunting so i decided i have to work! In general though i'd spend more time on homework so i'd only do about an hour every night of study unless i had an exam.

I've been doing about 18 hrs a week (in theory...real numbers probably lower) so far but I'm bumping that up to about 25-28hrs a week in the run up to the mocks.

Wait, just realised homework doesn't count. Without homework it's more like 13hrs a week so far, and going up to 20hrs.

Lol so true. I don't do a lot, going to start doing Evening Study though, at least then I'll be forced into doing a bit.

I'm going with what I did before the Christmas holidays. I think 21 hours plus homework and I am counting weekends. During the Christmas holidays I did very little because I needed a break. But when I am back from the Christmas break on Thursday I hope to up it a bit at the weekends..

Seloth

We have after school study in mine luckily,and I generally have 2 or more studys during the day besides thursdays but I dont count them.

Monday- 3.5 hrs
Tuesday-2.5 hrs
Wensday-2.5hrs
thursday-2.5 hrs
Friday...well have never really done any yet but will move this to 2 to 3.5 hrs soon I'd say

Saturday-none
Sunday-Only H/w really..if anything!

I'm only going for around 350 points,maybe 360-370 and have to work hard enough for it as I coant count on any of my pass subjects for points((Maths,Irish and Jap as Im terrible at them))

Quality not quantity lads.

GLUEY

Roughly 0 hours.

ithoughtitwasap

Reading this makes me feel a LOT better about my 0-1 Hours per week!

Wierd thing is, every now and then I do about six hours in a night.

Nothing yet,kinda disgusted with myself.
Starting tonight though,and all that craic.

I've started studying just this week, I'm happy with it so far. Doing 2 nights of one hour's study (two subjects) and two nights of one and a half hours study (3 subjects).

So once I keep it up, 5 hours each week.

I reckon so, too It certainly feels do-able. I'm in the same position as most of the posters here, I'm not one for studying but I would say that when making a study plan don't set yourself to much to do

It's hard to do much study when teachers continue to give you homework for the course and not necessarily in preparation for the mocks. Most of them said today "Oh we don't have time to revise for mocks, I have to finish the course etc. etc."

zoom!

From now until the mocks the only time I'll take off is saturday evernings and sunday mornings. The rest is study and schoolwork.

this is true,I have a chem pre-mock next monday and i could get to it as h/w takes until 11.30 at most!
monday getting timetable for mocks!

adamshred

If you do all of your homework in an applied standard and pay good attention in class and really TRY to take it in, you don't need to do much study.

I didn't study at all for the leaving cert but absorbed the work that I done to a good standard and came out with 425. Try it.

I couldn't care less if anyone doesn't believe me, in fact that reply is exactly what I would expect from a nay sayer. I know in my head what happened and regardless of what someone says on an online forum, I know that it's true.

God forbid someone might actually be able to do well without study . .

Humans aren't all the same so don't doubt something that you have no knowledge of. You don't know who I am so who are you to say that I'm not telling the truth?

Fair enough, but then maybe you shouldn't be saying that others don't need to do much study. After all, if it was just a matter of paying attention and doing your homework, everyone would be getting top marks in the leaving. Now you may be one of the lucky ones who doesn't need to study much, but unfortunately most of us have to put the extra work in.

I've moved up to the 1-4 hour category. 2 hours of French yesterday evening (had a mock oral today so prepared some of that stuff.) Got a strange kick out of it. So I'm hoping to get loads of Irish done this weekend and hopefully some chemistry and physics.

DancingQueen:)

I've been luckier this week, teachers have eased off on the homework so i've had more time to study. There's a good bit to do but i'm getting there slowly!

cork*girl

I find it easier to study for some subjects more than others. Like.. Studying Geography is grand but then I cannot bring myself to do Irish or French.. and I need to do well in Irish.. which will take alot of work! I just cant study it!!

Lawliet

I'm the same; no problem learning chemistry and biology, but when it comes to subjects like English I don't even know where to start...

0-1.... and maybe half an hour before a test or whatever cos i hate studying. FUN FACT : "studying" is derived from the word "students dying" Just thought ye should know that !!!

Honestly, I didn't do a tap last year (that's why I'm repeating; if I had tried last year I wouldn't have repeated. I'd have viewed it as a pointless exercise as my intention this year was to give the Leaving Cert my all) and I came out with 465. IDK,it's weird. I'm hoping to increase that by 100 or so by starting to study now.

I think for some people it is easy to get to a certain level with the minimum of effort but beyond that it takes a lot more effort,if that makes sense.

My plan is: an hour of study on average every weeknight and four hours per Saturday and Sunday. Now there's a realistic plan if ever I had one.

Bhoy_

Over the past three days I've done 14+ hours, but I think that's up to panic in realising how close the mocks are. I probably haven't done 14 hours in the three months before Christmas. :S

H2student

At least you realised Bhoy, I'm aiming for 520 points and I haven't really done any major study yet. I only did 2 hours of study in the last week. (Partly because I did at least 10 hours of written homework in the past week <__<).

Orlaladuck

All our teachers are piling on the h/w this week :cool:. And the way our school works makes it really difficult to get in extra study time. I have to ask - does any other school do a later study i.e 5.45-8.10 p.m? That's our study time and it's amazing how little you get done in it as far as revision goes.

I came home early tonight though - skipped the study- and did about an hour of just revision, the other hour of homework. I'm trying to pick it up but I find it hard to sit down and actually do it tbh =/.

yenoBAYUB

Tonight was the first night i havent studied since i started (i know, its only a week but suppose better than nothing) and i feel guilty lol, but I have the day off work tomorrow so intend on doing a few solid hours then. Oh actually does translating my facebook into irish count? :P

fuNk90

haha leaving cert hate to be doing that again

college ftw

Seloth

How'd you fit in the LC course into 6 weeks:L

NufcNavan

Meh. Have done no study today at all. Weekend laziness has kicked in..

Feck it.

je suis awesome

Our school has 4:20 - 6:00 and 7:00 - 10:00, gonna be doing both after Easter. I stand no chance of getting Law anymore, max I can get is 520, need to get A1's in English, Biology, Home Ec and Economics, and get a A1 in Maths and do really well in German, which I picked up last year, funny though, I've done German for 1 year and 4 months, and i'm way better at that than I am at Irish, which has been for the vast majority of my life.
