Junior Cert in 3 weeks and I'm really nervous?

    So, with 3 weeks till the junior cert, I'm pretty nervous. I haven't done much study, and I know that's my own fault. I've only skimmed over various topics in different subjects. I got 1 E, 2 D's, 6 C's and 2'b in my mocks. How much study should I do per night? I usually wouldn't do any because, with the amount of home work I'm getting each night nowadays is unreal, it's takes me a good few hours to do it and afterwards I'm pretty much knackered out by then.
    I've made endless amounts of study plans, but I never stick to them because i usually I'm too busy, or too tired.
    Would it be possible to well enough (I'm aiming for 4 a's, 4 b's, 2 c's and 1 d) at this time of the year? How should I study? how much should I study? when should I study (eg early in the morning before i go to school, or just before i do my homework, etc.)? Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!(:

    Firstly, your not too late to get good results. You still have 3 weeks, just use them wisely.

    No one can tell you how to study but you. Everyone's different. Try a few methods out and see which one's best.

    At this time I'd say nearly cut back on the homework. You need to study surely your teacher's would understand. If you really had to do your homework it might be better to study first and then do your homework as, you'll have to stay up and finish it.

    Well I find doing homework is study, right?
    Just make sure when you're doing homework you understand what is going on! E.g. maths homework especially paper 2.

    That way you're learning whilst doing homework.

    Could anyone tell me should I be doing questions from exam papers for English?
    I moved schools in second year and moved back in March. In my other school we had English homework every night. But in the school I'm back at we don't do like any homework. What homework do other people get?

    I get exam paper questions for homework now, in 2nd Year. I definitely think you should!

    I just wrote out a list of all the things I need to have done before the JC, It's a lot but I know if I can do them I will be in good shape for it.

    You should study before you do your homework as your going to do the homework anyway. .. Definitely do the homework though! Most of it is counted as study anyway!

    Important thing is, eyes on the prize, only 3 weeks left! :D

    You will do much better than you think.

    Make sure you don't leave out questions or parts of questions - it's the main reason people do badly.

    Hey guys,I'm so worried about Irish and maths :confused: For Irish studied stuff can you learn off a summary and then just write a paragraph saying how the theme is evident? And how can I study for maths? I got 80% in the mocks but I feel like I might just have gotten lucky with the paper :confused: Any tips? Thanks
