Its not as bad as you think it is going to be.. 6th Year is proberly the best year in school.. you will have some laugh with everyone and even the teachers. It will FLY! You will hear this about 100000 times but it does! Seriously! The year flew for me. As much as it kills you not to but DO NOT PREDICT! Just do the work through out the year and you will be fine!

Im gonna miss school so much..

Now if I had only followed my own advice! :L

degausserxo · 05-07-2010 8:03pm

Oh dear hypothetical baby Jesus, I cannot wait to get this over with again.

Heyas. I'm Áine, 19 in a few weeks, and I shall hopefully be repeating in the Institute (find out on Friday!). I did the LC in 2009, didn't get my first choice (veterinary medicine), settled for my second and dropped outta college after two months.

This should be interesting.

Don't mention "guaranteed / definitely" and "Evan Boland" in the same sentence. Those words don't get on I'm afraid.

Orlaladuck · 06-07-2010 3:39pm

Ah you poor things - all of you who did TY will be kicking yourselves come October.
I found the LC to be the best and worst year of my life for a bundle of reasons so here's the main things I could think of :

Good things :
-You go out a little bit
-You get on more with people in the year generally
-It's (supposedly) the last year in school and the next year is constantly looming come January.
-The LC itself is nowhere near as terrible as you expect.
- The atmosphere coming up to the end of the year is always great -especially around graduation.
- Boards can save your life at times so if you get stuck with something Post it on here - there's always at least One person doing the same subject/topic so you might as well ask them rather than trying to find notes online - people can explain things and break them down here when notes don't but saying that don't get too over-reliant - being on boards isn't studying.

Bad things :
- The work load is horrible - you must know pretty much everything on your courses and most teachers aren't going to go easy on you.
- Predicting anything this year isn't going to work so forget it - look what happened this year, practically every subject was shaken in some horrible way and few predictions actually came true (at least for most of my subjects anyway) but they're trying to get away from it so if you want high points you'd better study hard this year.
- Unless you're healthy and exercise, you will be Constantly tired and feel worn out (and put on weight in some cases)
- You'll feel guilty if you do anything but study

But as said, the LC isn't nearly as terrible as it seems, just work hard throughout the year and do ALL your homework - it helps immensely. Go out and have fun as well - if you want to go out on saturday night, go out and relax - it shouldn't be all work work work. Just give it your best shot, it's all you can do and the year will fly by and then you're done.

Professional Griefer · 06-07-2010 4:48pm

LC year was by far the best year I've had in school. It gets blown waaaay outta proportion!

WallyGUFC · 07-07-2010 3:17pm

The Leaving Cert is the WORST, most GUT-WRENCHING experience of your life. Everyday you'll want it to end and the work just gets harder and harder and HARDER!!!
Make the most of the Summer, cus next year will be HELL!!!:cool:

LOL jk...its the best year in school, great craic, but seriously get the fup outta here and enjoy the rainy weather!:p

EuropeanSon · 07-07-2010 5:01pm

Have fun. I loved it, even the exams. Best school year ever.

ChristinaIndigo · 08-07-2010 2:43pm

Hi, I'm Christina

Absolutely dreading September - it's the homework that kills me.
Would generally love school if homework wasn't such an issue - think I could even hack it for a little while longer

Just hate the way that every student is different and, some (like myself) could really benefit from using their evenings to go back over things that they want to brush up on. Sometimes I just feel we're given extra work to do for the sake of it, and, a lot of the time - the homework we're doing is of absolutely no benefit. I know that a high number of students need to be given homework as it counts for some of the only work they'll do the whole year, and, I know that some of it is beneficial.

I just don't see how filling up the Saturday of a 6th year with essay after essay is really helping them. In my opinion - it takes away from the time needed for students to study the areas that they themselves feel the need to go back over.

Abolish homework & 6th year would be a breeze for me.....rant over :P

I wonder if we were to abolish Oxegen, would that also prevent the phenomenon known as "Oxegen weather"?

Oxegen Weather=Irish Weather=Rain

If my calculations are correct the answer to your question is "no".
