    What course are you hoping to do? :)
    Unless I change my mind before Monday, English Literature & French or Modern European Languages (French and beginners Italian). Probably going to get rejected straight out but meh, at least I can say I tried...

    You know they way you've to learn picture stories for the Irish and German oral, and the examiner picks one at random. If you got a ''sound'' examiner, would they ask you which one you want? It's not like anyone would know... Just a thought :D

    We were told they were face down and that we'd pick it at random... Could be wrong though :)

    Probably not, although I heard that this happened to a friend of a friend, so you never know! When I did it, the 2nd or 3rd fella that went in was convinced that the 'Pass Verloren' sheet was a lighter shade of yellow! It wasn't :p

    Not so much a study plan, as a study regime.
    Evening study start in my school on Monday, so im gonna do that, from 4pm-6pm, then home,get dinner, and library at 7pm-9pm. So that's a guaranteed 4hrs a day, which i think is enough to keep me going til at least Christmas. Prob do written homework in evening study, and revision/notes/ and other learning in the library.
    Doing hr level everything at the moment, but thinking of dropping to ordinary irish, since its totally useless for any college courses(bar primary school teaching), and I will have 7 other honors to choose from (well, depending if i stick with applied maths or not...)
    Aiming for around 550 in the lv cert, applying for medicine in a few weeks now...*gulp*

    Holy crap you're so..I feel like I'm doing nothing now! :pac: With all that work you're deffo going to get your 550!
    I'm doing higher english, home ec, biology and physics. Dropping to pass german next week! :D
    Pass irish is the easiest thing in the world. Honestly, you'll deffo get an A1 in it if you're doing honours at the minute. I dropped in 5th year and it's such a massive difference!
    Good luck. :)

    Our Deputy Principal spoke to us at assembly and said to us not to look at it as 9 months but 33 weeks. It makes it seem an awful lot closer! :pac:

    Our Principal did that too, and listed out all the weeks between holidays and up to the mocks and everything. It was terrifying :P

    Lads, my school hasn't even mentioned anything like that! We've been given a biology revision plan and that's literally it. I'm worried now! :P

    Yeah, I did TY. Only 2 people in my year skipped it. It was pretty cool, if I'm honest. My old best friend skipped though, and she turned in to a mega b-word..
