    LIES!! You spoke a sentence of Irish on Skype last week. :P

    Cárbh as duit?....
    Yeah I'd say that's me sorted:cool:

    I don't really worry much about Irish and Maths and stuff like that though.

    I should be working on my weaker subjects like French and Applied Maths.

    Lies! There are some very smart people lurking around here >_>

    This is an odd thing to say but I wish the whole Easter break I was just in school, that way I'd be working as usual. I suppose I'm much better for it in a school environment, it's where I thrive:D.

    Or when you do a long question, flip out the marking scheme and correct it with a red pen and write a 40/40 in big red numbers and a massive circle with a grade: A1 and think youre the smartest person ever :P

    YES :P
    But for most of my subjects I cant do that because the marking schemes arent specific :P

    8
    I'm hoping for good grades in
    Maths
    Physics
    Irish
    Business

    Slightly more dodgy subjects will be
    Accounting
    English
    Applied Maths

    And then I don't really consider French much when it comes to points.
    :)

    I'm only doing 4 honours , geography , business , english , economics . It's just maths and french is ordinary. I don't do Irish as I've never learnt it before.
    The most points I need is like 340 , or 380 if I achieve the grades for the uni in England I applied to :).

    No silly, I'm not looking to do medicine next year, in fact the points I need for a maths or physics course are relatively low, therefore I'm not exactly too worried about getting my course.
    The only thing I'm worried about is not doing as well as I'm capable and then regretting it afterwards.

    I don't think it's too much to handle. I know a lot of people doing 8 honours.
    It's not too much to manage for me, I'm lucky that Mathsy subjects come quite naturally to me, so I don't give them a second glance, it's almost as if I'm doing less subjects. Fortunate is all I am, I know a lot of people devote a lot of their time to maths.

    I know it's good not having extra subjects. Last years LC I was worried about not having a 7th subject . This year, I'm glad I only have the 6 plus I have better subjects this time :).

    Oh right lol. Thats good then , I guess you'll have back ups as well and they'll take your best 6 :). Aw thats so lucky maths is like a foreign language to me , it takes me time to understand it fully. As long as you've done the best you can do in the 6 it should be fine :).

    Maths , I hope I'll understand project maths and the paper 1 won't be ridiculously hard. I better get a C3 I need that for nearly all colleges I applied for apart from one.
    I'm not sure about economics I'll have a week in between to focus on only that so I'm sure I can do manage that.

    Bricking English. Not that I'm bad but I'm afraid of underperforming big time due to stress and pressure.
    English in JC was by far my most stressful exam, so tiring too.

    I do 7 honours, but I almost wish there were no extra maths points. I'd give my left arm for pass maths, or to understand honours like some of you guys do, but my ego wants the points :rolleyes:

    I wish I did more languages as I'm aiming for A's in English, French and Irish, but I'm dreading history, oh god. Its almost definitely the one I wont be counting.

    You're the exact same as me apart from history! :p it's one of my best subjects! Just aiming for a low C in honors maths. I'd be delighted with that!

    How do you do history?! Theres just so much in it :eek: and so many ways to ask it :(

    I wanted a B3 and I was getting A1s in all my class tests, but they were nowhere near exam standard by the looks of it :rolleyes: I'd like a C1 but I'd be happy with a C3 or even a pass! :L
