Junior Cert Subject in your opinion is the hardest?

Desire to Aspire

Irish, or English.

Probably because they are the two hardest subjects to get A's in, in my opinion. That could possibly be because I think they are the only exams where you have to really make stuff up. In every other subject, you can pretty much learn most things off, but here you need to make up a lot of stuff on the spot.

Colm!

Irish. I'm good at speaking Irish and so on, but the way the exam is done out annoys me. It seems to reward people who are good at exams and not people who are good at the language. It's also the only language other than English where poems and short stories are learned: very difficult if you don't know the language, and still difficult if you do know it. It's probably the subject I did worst in.

Then again, different people find different subjects hard, I'm sure someone will say Maths which is what I find easy

Maths. It's nice and all, I find myself quite enjoying it at times, but it's something that takes me a while to really get. When I do it's fantastic, but until I do it's just awful. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to school and tests and stuff, so sometimes in a Maths test that I still haven't quite grasped I find myself feeling really worried and kinda panicky. But s'grand like, usually I plow on through anyway, get my marks where I can, and I've never got less than a B yet, so I suppose I can't complain too much.

Everything else is fine really...well Home Ec isn't, but I'm not even going to complain about that abomination (IMO, but I am not the type of girl who wants to know how to plan a meal and how to make a cushion and the perfect nutritional balance for a sandwich...there are some OK, Biology-ish parts to it, and consumer studies is alright, but everything else...ew. Oh man, I said I wasn't going to complain). Also, Irish is a tad annoying. I'm quite good at learning things off, so I do fairly well in it, but I don't like the way I'm learning at all, but it feels like it's the only thing I can do.

English I'd say....

Because in the exams you're stretching every minute, and I find with English, I could write well one day and get an A and write badly another day and get a C

Also, I love maths, but at times it gets difficult...like sets:eek:
I can do everything else almost flawlessly..but sets get me everytime with the x in the middle etc.

Slow Show

Mhmm, sets are actually unexpectedly hard. You go in being told it's the softest thing on the course, but it gets really confusing, and the questions they ask end up being quite obscure and just generally hard.

I love English to bits though. I was an avid reader back in the day, and I'm getting back into it now, and nothing in English ever surprises me, it all comes naturally. Man, I love that subject...

Cakes.

I hate English, it's probably because my English teacher made us do loads and loads of questions on our really boring novel :mad:. I love doing poems though.:P

I LOVE Irish and German. I love Irish because it makes us unique as a nation. :P lol

I love German because of my teacher and class, it's a small class of about 20 so we always have the craic and I can talk to the teacher dead casually and have a laugh but she still teaches us loads.

I Love Science too, I like geography too.

I Hate history, probably because of the pace my teacher goes at. We're only half way through Irish history and haven't done anything else of the third year course. He tries to have the craic in class but it doesn't work :P. He took us to lunch up ton the last week before Christmas because he wanted us to carry food from the school to SVDP for the hampers because he is the president of it in my area. He paid for lunch and all but I missed two classes because of it. I don't mean to sound like a geek or anything but it's really frustrating when you know you need to learn more but he is preventing us from learning more.

I love English and Irish, always get A's. Probably because I speak Irish at home...

I'm awful at maths, I was just doing my homework there, which was to do the whole 2010 exam paper and I didn't know how to do any of it... I'm doing honors... Oooh dear.

TehFionnster

Also, I agree, I love Irish..:D

I went to a Gaeltacht over the summer and LOVED it, now I was failing Irish before I went and now I generally get high A's

French....
I'm lazy at it.... Like i CAN'T learn things, but i do take alot in in class (yes, i actually listen, with the odd bit of craic:L)!
But i think you have to love it or hate it... Meh

English and Art. HL Maths at JC is very easy, just do loads of practice. Sets are hard and a fairly minor part of the course, but they spend like a million years teaching it for some reason.English on the other hand involves so much writing and is very subjective, so its hard to get an A in. The standard they expect for art is also high, very few people get As

rorrissey

I agree with the art, it's so time consuming. Still haven't even started prep for my 3d, I'm way behind. all I've got done is the painting.
