Leaving Cert '11/'12 Off-Topic 2

Bears and Vodka

Might as well jump on the bandwagon:

I want:
English: (got C1) -> want B2
Russian: want A1, and A1 only.
Economics: (got B2) -> want A2
Construction Studies: (got B2) -> want A2
Physics: (got D3 ) -> want C3+
Irish OL: (got C1) -> want B3 (not bad for a Russian person)
Maths OL: (got A2) -> want A1
German OL: (got B3) -> want: don't care
LCVP: (got Distinction) -> want Distinction
Points I want: 500
Points I need: 420+

Yeah I think so too now. You can always PM a moderator if you really want a ban though!

So whats everyones first choices and 2nd? we'll see who could end up in the same place

Law and Business Trinity for me, followed by BESS.

The improvements I would like to make from the mocks are as follows:

History A1- would obviously like to maintain this
Accounting A2- would like to push it to a A1
Physics- B1- would love if I could get this up to an A1
Spanish- B1- hopefully can get this up to an A2 standard and if I'm lucky possibly an A1
Maths- B2- hopefully can get this up to an A2. Will be tricky with project maths but as long as Q8 isn't such a horror I have a chance
Applied Maths-B3- I don't think I'm very good at applied maths but hope with some work I can push it up to an B1
English- C2- was really disappointed with this. Hopefully I can get it up to a B1 standard.

Haha I don't know if it's worth seeing it's so long and you already know what happens in the end , the same outcome. I haven't seen it in ages I could download it. The movie is just very long to have to sit through plus the 3D glasses get annoying to wear after a while.

First choice is Primary teaching in pats and second choice is primary in Mary I

I only have 3 courses listed on my cao so far all level 8s, I don't know what other level 8s to put down that interest me :S. I haven't added anything for the level 7s yet.

It would be good to see though , I might just buy it on dvd when it's out.
I do get bored watching Titanic sometimes as it really drags until you get to the good scenes.

This isn't aimed at anyone in particular so I don't want anyone getting paranoid or anything. But looking around some posts here (the general forum, not this thread specifically), people need to either really lighten up about the amount of work/study they're doing or just stop talking out of their arses about what they're doing...

In fairness some people are doing insane amounts of study. :eek:

But then again too much is kind of better than none. :cool:

I tend to believe what people say they do, why would they lie? Makes no sense.

I know, and I'm doing the Leaving Cert too, but seriously, some people are being completely ridiculous about it. It's almost like a competition, how long can you spend studying, who can study the most. Gets a bit tiring reading endless posts of "I'm planning on doing 12 hours a day but I might up it to 24 closer to June."

Okay, my post was a bit bitchy, I apologise for that. But really, if people are doing the insane amounts of study that they're saying they're doing, it's just not healthy.

True. You need some kind of balance. Loads of study is great but people need to relax too and make sure they take enough time away from studying.



Yes Eathrin, that was totally aimed at you. Calm the eff down with the studying man!!

:P

I know its easy to get stressed out by other people saying how much study they're doing, but do try and take these things with a pinch of salt Concentrate on your own study and never mind what everyone else is doing! Everyone studies at a different pace, and everyone measures their time studying differently...they're probably not taking into account all the facebook and boards time that's in there too :P

As long as you're spending the amount of time that you need to get things done, then that's all that matters.

Siobhnk

Yeah cian you're doing insane amounts of study... We all miss you here, I mean giving yourself a 5 minute break after every 14 hours of study isn't healthy it should be 5 minutes after every 11 hours!!

I did 11 hours study for a good 3 days last week and then only 3 or 4 next 2 days :O tbh people, I locked myself away and it really just made matters worse than anything , I was exhausted and so stressed, had breakdowns etc :P
and I havent done anything much since friday , i've just been too turned off it
anyone doing that or more is burning themselves out tbh .
So lads no stress or worries about how many hours study you do

Eathrin

Guys I know I've been going a little overkill with the work but it just means so much to me that I get 8 A1s and I honestly can't imagine achieving that unless I continue with a solid 6am till 1am study, obviously a 3 minute break for food at 5pm.
You can all go and be a bunch of failures if you want or you can be great, just like me. It's been so long since I've spoken to another human being I have forgotten the sound of their voices. This is what it takes to be truly fantastic.

Siobhnk

It doesn't matter how many hours you do, it matters what you do. You could spend 2 hours on utter cr*p while you might be better off doing 20 minutes of good solid revision on a topic.
