Just to say before this really takes off: you will (more than likely) need to start an off topic sometime (e.g. after we've left or when you have enough regulars) or this will got seriously off track. We all know how our's came about....

Ok..a bit of topic here..but ah sure...

Ok, so I got Irish Exam Papers for next year for the JC and I'm slightly worried as its says u dont need to write more than half a page for ur studied prose answers. I've have always been writing 1 and a half to 2 pages so what should I do? Stick with my long answers..(would I still get my exam finished?) or just try and shorten my answers to less than a page.

Advice appreciated!

Your safest bet would be to ask your teacher tbh...
You should stick with whatever he/she gives you

This is going to be a very tough year. In order to at least pass each subject you will be required to wake at dawn every single morning to study. Do your homework religiously and if you don't be prepared to see a lot of NGs on your results.
Best of luck and remember, it is nothing to be taken lightly.

Oh goodness, well then I'd better get studying. :rolleyes:

In the years that have exams at the end of them, doing your homework is almost the best form of study. So if it were me, I certainly wouldn't be doing 2.5 hours on top of my homework.

I was hoping it included homework tbh..
Nobody should put themselves under that amount of work for the JC tbh

Studyfreak

ya with homework but my teachers gave very little homework mostly revision and idid exam papers mainly for study with revison using rvision books where needed

omg a kitty

JC gonna be a walk in the park

LoganRice

10 minutes of studying a night (properly done) will get you an A in almost everything, because you can study 5 minutes for 2 subjects a night rather than 2 hours of wasting your time trying to study.

When a Mock exam is drawing near though, expand it to around 15-20 minutes (proper) and you'll do okay methinks..

This worked while I was in 3rd year and I got several As, it's only the Junipr Cert after all.

Simply.Young

I'm doing my Junior Cert this year too. I'm aiming for ten A's, but I've a lot of work do to after only getting four in my Summer Tests.

Going back to school tomorrow. :rolleyes:

Bleh! Four days back in school and I already need some help. :rolleyes:

Alright, could anyone help me out with my French?

I'm having a bit of trouble with the negative. Say, for example, "We don't go." The negative thing is something like Je n'ai [verb] pas" - I think. For that though, do you change the 'Je' to 'Nous'? And to you put 'vais' or 'allons' in for [verb]?

I'm sorry if that's confusing, but that's what I'm feeling at the moment. :pac:

No, not n'ai pas. It's actually ne [verb] pas. Or n'[verb beginning with noun] pas. Here's some quick examples

english -> original -> negative
I don't go. -> Je vais -> Je ne vais pas.
I don't have. -> J'ai -> Je n'ai pas.
We don't go. -> Nous allons -> Nous n'allons pas.
We are not. -> Nous sommes -> Nous ne sommes pas.
