21-04-2011 4:07am#1Hi Everyone,
This is my 1st post, a little be nervous.
I am 25yrs old and living in HK. I took my A-Level (HK) exam fews yr ago and the result as below:
Chinese Language and Culture - AS Level (D)
Use of English - AS Level (F)
Business Studies - A Level (E)
Principles of Accounts - A Level (E)
Mathematics and Statistics - AS Level (F)
Computer Applications - AS Level (F)
and LCCI Higher Lever for Accounting (C)
I would like to attend 2013 Leaving Cert.
My friend can teachs me that he studied secondary school and university in Ireland but it's almost 10 years ago...And we think some syllabus could be adjusted.
Now, there are fews questions would like to have some advises, thanks a lot!
I planned to take the below subjusts:
- English (o)
- Maths (H)
- Accounting (H)
- Economics (H)
- A. maths (H)
- Business (H)
If there is not enough, I may take Home Economics (H) also.
1. Are these subjusts suitable for me? Any others?
2. For English, I'm not sure how many novels should I read for the exam, I quite confuse on this part. Can someone tell me more about the syllabus? I already started to read Emma.
3. Please advise me the textbooks/ reference books for the above subjusts.
4. Anythings that I missed? need to concern?
Also, I would like to make some friends here to share the exam experience or even more!
Many thanks,

You're allowed use dictionaries?
I've never heard this before, and it doesn't make sense. If you were asked for a definition, which comes up in nearly all subjects I'd imagine, you could just look it up in the dictionary...which isn't exactly the point of an exam. 0 -

You don't get a normal dictionary that gives you definitions. Say, if you are French, you would get a English/French dictionary. So, you will be able to find the English for French words which you don't know, and you won't be getting any definition.0 -

A dictionary such as English - Chinese in this case I would imagine. So the person doing the exam can understand what they are reading in front of them not get definitions out of it. It wouldn't be a regular English dictionary.0 -

There you go!
Btw, Emma isn't on the syllabus for 2013.
Wow Macbeth is on for my Leaving Cert :eek: Thank god I did Transition Year. I did Macbeth for Junior Cert also, so it's a huge bonus. Delighted
Sorry for the off-topic post btw. But seriously, well done for actually going back to 2nd level and trying to improve on your grades. Best of luck 0 -
