    *Lots of reading, *lots of writing! :(

    But you wrote SO much! Maybe they shrunk your exam booklets... Yeah, that must be it. :P

    And I don't know what 'dexterity' means. :o I feel so smart right now. :pac:
    Must be! :P My writing isnt the smallest writing there is, 200 words on a normal A4 page, and it gets a bit bigger in exams with sloppiness etc :P I didnt even realize I was writing a lot except for the story!

    Dexterity means speed :D I used it in my last story though and my teacher said it sounds too pretentious so...maybe just know the word but dont use it :P

    http://www.independentacademy.ie/resources/IA-Easter-Rev-Brochure-2012-Web.pdf anyone know if these are any good? me and my sister want to go for history, probably gonna go for H Maths with my friend and I kinda would like geography but yeah, not gonna push the boat out too far :P

    Just that it seems much better than IoE, half the price and a full day, but just checking if any of yous might know anything :)

    I did hpat prep course there and thought it was poor and badly organised. I'd imagine 5 and a half hours of one subject in one day would be more or less useless. Depends how good the notes are really!

    I don't know much about that but I might go to the Geography one seeing as the prices are reasonably cheaper than the Institute, seems like I could benefit from it. And some extra notes would be handy. :pac:

    Hmmmm...yeah, 5 and a half hours is a lot of time to drag one subject out over. It's so tempting though!

    I know this is random , but we started Plath today and she's so interesting :) She's one of my favourite poets so far anyways :) Although Frost is my main man, too bad he came up last year :/

    Ah sure I failed Maths! The way I look at it is it's better to fail it now than in June! We'll learn from our mistakes :)
    I know just I thought I'd done okay. Whenever I think I do good in tests I barely scrape a pass! :P
    Thanks everyone who replied actually :)

    We did ours right away in 5th year, just need to transfer them in really. I'd be terrified leaving it so late, kinda happening in history, I'd just do it myself if I were you!

    God I truly hate Kinsella, he's so feckin' boring! And his poems are wayy too long, 4.5 pages for My Fathers Hands, sorry to disappoint you Thomas but no-one cares about your gene pool tbh! :/

    Do ye think it'd be possible to study Robert Frost on your own? I hate Kavanagh and Kinsella and want to do at least 5 poets in case one of them didn't come up! I'm just crossing the fingers for a Rich, Plath, Larkin and Heaney combo! Even though i'm nearly sure Kinsella will be there :/

    Definitely doable to study Frost on your own , but its really unlikely he'll come up dear unfortunately :( Frost is by far my favourite though :) he's really accessible and his poetry is really interesting :)
    I concur Kinsella is so boring , I use to fall asleep in those classes no joke like :P but that was coupled with my sleep deprivation but i'm postive it was all Kinsella's fault :P

    We're going to be doing Kinsella instead of Plath which dissapoints me, would've preferred to do her poetry. :(

    Going wild with that geography I see :P We didnt do either but I got one of my friends to teach me Plath, she's so so interesting and easy to write about and very likely to come up apparently :)

    I've also heard from my sister's friend who gets grinds that a woman who's never wrong with predictions has predicted Boland since she didnt come up when she was expected...wouldnt mind her at all :P
