Oh yes, let's all sneer at the people not going for Medicine/Pharmacy/Law.

The world would collapse a lot sooner if there were no binmen rather than no doctors.

Not sure of the purpose of this sort of thread.

no harm there are loads of people in your boat i am aswel! i love science subjects and home ec in school...thats the only reason why i decided to put science and nutrition down on my cao! i wouldnt worry about it just do something you know your interested in not if there will be jobs in it when your finished....(even though ino is a big issue) but recession is bound to end some time:p

luciemc

8- maths, applied maths, physics, chemistry, accounting, english, french, spanish

want to do maths/physics/maths and economics or something along those lines?

Superbus

8 - the big three, music, French, Latin, physics and history.

No idea, in 5th Year so should be having a think, I'd imagine. Something arty probably, as I'm sure is evident by the subjects.

I know ya I love music so maybe that. And I also like human biology so maybe something sciency. But I've a whole year to decide

J_E

8 Higher, and then LCVP.
English, Irish, Maths, French, DCG, Construction Studies, Biology, Music.
Hoping to do teaching in Materials Tech and Architechture in UL.

To be honest I wish I hadn't kept the Maths on Higher Level. It's really killing me and it's damn difficult, but at the same time I'd be worried about dropping to Ordinary because some of the stuff on the paper is different to what we've done, i.e Simpson's Rule and delta and that.

delta??
i dropped to pass month or two ago and yh there are a few different things on the course....and the teacher in pass didnt bother going over it with me...but i just spent about hlf hour a wk doing exam papers to try and see if could do it...and tbh its grand i turned round and got an A in the mock like.....im not goin to encourage yh to drop down....but if your really struggling like dont worry about pass having dif topics...there grand once yh go over like

J_E

Yeah, the triangle thing beside x, never got that in HL, threw me off.
Well, I dunno if I'll be even allowed now. There are like 3 left and one wants to drop down by Monday. We started off with 16-17, it's crazy. Nobody passed Christmas or the mocks except for me, and I only scraped a pass.

oh is that to do with difrenciation?(however you spell it) first priciples...thats the only time i can think you use it only other place i use delta would be in chem:p i could be wrong
thats crazy sure in our class the was 25 now theres only 5 of them!
oh but sure if you passed you must be ok? i know its probably not what you want especially with if you fail maths and repeating....but if you think you can pass keep it up but if your really worried then drop....they cant stop you from dropping its your own choice like...:)

Abusing other posters, derogatory comments about what subjects / levels people do, none of these are welcome here.

lctake2

I really wouldn't worry about dropping to pass maths. I only did 5th year honours maths and then sat pass maths on the day and got an A2 first time round, A1 second time. All I did was read through a revision book a couple of times a week a few months before the lc. Not advising that anyone do that of course but the whole thing about pass being completely different is rubbish. I only went to one pass maths class ever

PictureFrame

In 5th year doing 6 Higher

• English
• Geography
• French
• Music
• Economics
• Business

I also do OL Irish and Maths and LCVP. Hoping to go into something in Psychology or maybe Teaching!

ciarashauna

I do 6 higher:

• English
• Maths
• Geography
• Religion
• Business
• Accounting

I'm exempt from Irish, so don't have a seventh subject.
I want to do Accounting when I'm finished school.

J_E

Just make sure the college you get into doesn't need a European language.

ciarashauna

No it doesn't, thankfully. Have applied to DCU, DIT and DKIT.

Fireball07

That's so odd. I could have sworn I wrote Geography. Guess not. :pac:

mulner92

Did 6 at the start of fith year. Then dropped to pass irish. Kept that way for the leaving. Then i repeated, didn't need maths so didn't do it again, had everything honours except irish and it worked out in the end.

soccymonster

6 honours - Biology, Chemistry, Economics, French, Irish and English

1 pass - Maths :P Tá sé... stupid.

He looks like that fella Harvey Keitel

6 - English, Irish, Business, History, Geography and French

Unless you need it for your course or you're an A student, I really don't see the point in doing honours maths. You're losing the guts of two hours every night with the homework like. Even if you drift off early, there's over 150 school days in 6th year, so you're looking at about 300 hours of Maths and that's not even including 5th year :eek:
In pass you'd usually get half an hour max. Just makes more sense imo
