    Did you learn grammar and punctuation at home? A very bad idea. Either stay in current school or move to a different one but you will lack guidance and motivation at home.

    I know several people who did that last year and it ended up leading to them falling into very deep depression and ****ing up the LC, then dropping out their course too. Move school, but being alone all day with no routine and no help with your work will do you no favors. If the classes are a waste of time skip class and hide somewhere to study.

    I know this is a bad idea, so i bought some english study book ,past paper (learning answer the question in www.e-xamit.ie ), and i already got all notes for all subjects.
    i did 7 subjects this year , 6HLV+1 OLV ENGLISH, and i need 400 points ,
    i already absent school 11 days and keep study 11-13 hours everyday,
    i also keep running an hour 5 times a week to energise myself ,
    keep doing PP everyday to motivate myself and make a timetable, i will got 3000+ hrs to study before LC ,hope i can success:o

    MY only question is where do i do my LC next year?:(

    if you decide to go ahead with your plan (i really really really advise you not to though, it never ends well), you have to ask an exam centre (most likely your school) if you can sit the lc there. i'm not too sure how it works, you should ask them when you're telling them you're dropping out i guess.

    Is English your first language OP?
    You can do your LC wherever you want. The SEC will make arrangements when you apply to them.
    Entries for June 2012 should be in the SEC by the end of January 2012.

    If you have done your Geography project already and it has not yet been submitted for exam, you can get a teacher to sign for you and use it in 2012, no matter where you are sitting the exam.

    If you have already submitted the Geography project for the 2011 exam, then you must do a new project for the 2012 exam.

    If your language is one of the EU languages, or Russian, you can sit an exam in it.
