So... have ye actually started studying yet? Properly?

Steve Collins

Hi lads.

Just wondering if any of ye feel good or bad at the moment for the JC. I was studying a good bit before the Pre Pres in November and after that I've stopped a bit. Well I am studying like but I dunno if I am enough. My Pres start on teh 24th of February and it's only around the corner when you think about it. I'm worried about the Pres, even though they're not really important (apart from giving you an idea of subject level and stuff).

How about ye?

Closed ac

I'm the exact same, studied loads in Sept & Oct and just stopped. Tomorrow's a month to my mocks, so I'm gonna start up again tomorrow!

The 24th!!!!!!!!!

Mine start the 1st and I haven't really even properly started.:eek::eek::eek:

GLUEY

Dear Jesus lads, don't study for the feckin' Junior Cert!

They haven't told us when they start, but I know they end on the 12th. And I've started studying for everything but History.

Yeah I've been putting off History for that reason. I had a crap teachers for 1st and 1/2 of 2nd year so I don't remember anything, I really need to start it.

Study? Not at all bearly do homework as it is!
Fairplay to anyon who does study though I'm sure the results ye get will pay off!

Leftyflip

I've been getting "You better get all B's or higher" now for a few days, arguements ensued, I'm not gonna study...

CookieMonster.x

I studied a bit at the beginning and then just couldn't keep up because I'm so tired (I do less than last year and I'm more tired )
so then I did a bit around Christmas and studied yesterday too in my dad's office too and then tomorrow also.
But I've only really done home ec, business, geography, music and science. History I just can't do, I try to seem interested but the book has like so much info and the revision book has like it totally condensed but I don't know what to learn for history Now just to do religion (did like part a, how boring), irish and english. French is easy, so is cspe.

knockane_ali09

i have been trying to study the last few days i just cant seem to bring myself to do it properly......
i need to do business, geography and irish because they are my weakest subjects
i really dont want to think about how close the pres are right now.....

WanderingSoul

Just found out my mocks start on the 28th; 2 and a half week's time! :eek:

Jackobyte

Haven't started yet, for anything. Didn't have xmas tests so didn't even study for them:eek: I dunno if I'll do anything for the PREs at all. maybe just use them to see what you remember and what to proper study before the JC.

That said, I'll still probably become a study freak for the next 2 weeks!

Me too, probably.

katiemce

I'm kinda worried because I didn't :eek: I'm kinda sh1tting it now. I mean they're in less than a month now...

No one cares about the Mocks. It's the exam in June that matters.

Fad

Merged......no need for two threads.

People do care about the mocks though.....

Luno

Actually I've changed my mind, a teacher told me homework is study so therefore I've been studying all year

@Mary:Are you only doing your JC this year? Your 16 so I presumed you'd be TY at least.

Because if they don't do good in their Junior Cert they will never get a job:rolleyes:
Obviously :pac:

the lil man

probably not the best thing to be saying, but ill say it anyway.
dont worry about the JC obviously study and try, but some people go overboard. still go out to your friends n have a laugh.
the teachers make the JC sound like it will decide your life but it doesnt. It is a sight of what the LC is like but it is not as important. Try do an hour a day and you'll definitely pass. Even if you listen and do your homework properly you should pass. but you should study to do really well

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't actually studied for mocks yet and it is only... *goes to check calendar* 15 days til they start! / RML voice:P

Steve Collins

I dunno how I managed to do it, but over the last few days I've been studying really hard. And usually it's difficult for me to study hard unless I have the exam the next day so I'm pretty proud of myself and hope it'll keep up

37 days to go 'til the pres...

suitcasepink

I have a book beside me and a tab open, waiting for me to revise...
I really should start tbh my pres are the 4th which is just over 2 weeks I think?

Im sure a lazy person..... :pac:

Thankfully, they got put back. They start on Monday though.

Luno

Mocks coming up and haven't started studying yet
I'm screwed!

Washington Irving

Mocks start on Friday and havn't studied in the slightest all year. I don't really give a Sh!*e about the mocks though. In late May it'll hit me and I'll be like 'Holy crap, the JC is next week' and I'll cram like F**k and hope for the best.
It's been working for two 1/2 years for Christmas and Summer tests, so I'm pretty confident :cool:

I'm the exact same except its usually for 10 minutes the night before the exam, doesn't go too bad,

laurrra

eh does ane1 have any gud study methods cant seem to settle when im studying!!!!!

Luno

Best method would probably be reading over notes, if your stuck get some Revise Wise books, I find if I'm trying to learn off sample answers try write them out a few times and then see if you can do it without looking at the book.
Some people make out flash cards with points on it and stick it somewhere that they will be looking at it alot to help them remember..

laurrra

tanks ill try mocks start tommorrow

Luno

Best go study then

Jackobyte

Today was a study day for tomorrow's pre's. Studying since 3 and only took a few small boards breaks. Now I gotta go finish covering the science course!:P

They'll correct all 5 and you'll get the marks for the best six.Say there were six questions , each 30 marks and you had to do 4 but you did 5.The marks that you got for each were 30, 18, 24, 9 and 20.They will count the 30, 24, 18 and 20 as yoour best 4 answers.
