Leaving cert repeat 2012

Blinky285

Hi, I just did my leaving cert, and I felt that I definatey did not get my points. I've been told not to worry, I might surprise myself, but I'm 100% sure I did not get 555 points. My first choice was veterinary medicine as I am very interested in it.
However, my problem is that the lower year in my school has done the new maths course, and I did the old course. I'm sure I'd work to get the points but I don't want to put all my effort into the new course as I have other subjects. I haven't talked to many people about the project maths, is it difficult?
It's possible I failed maths anyway, because of the first paper =/ I can't see myself doing anything else but veterinary and I'd prefer the undergrad entry.
I've seen some threads that said that if you wanna do vet/med you have to keep the core subjects.Is that true? I do ordinary level Irish, would I still have to keep that even though I wouldn't be counting it for points?

I would take the advice of the person who told you not to worry.

Project Maths, I found to be more difficult than the old maths paper as it takes a lot of getting used to.
The paper will be marked easier if there was an uproar. I know that Project Maths honours Paper One was horrendous that the teacher even said she'd be lucky to get a B and there was a huge uproar so it'll be marked easier.
Don't worry about it, until you get the results.
