Leaving Cert Help

Steve Fennelly

Well I'm in 4th year now, picking my subjects soon and don't want to pick something I can't keep up. I would like to know how much study is needed for say a C1 in higher physics, Obviously it's not the same for everyone but In general. I don't want to know to get away easy to but don't want to be surprised by how much work It will actually take.

Also I was going to do higher Maths, English and Ordinary Irish and planning on doing Higher (if possible) Accounting, geography, biology and physics. I was going to do chemistry and biology as it seemed to be a smart move as they could relate during college and I like all science subjects ^_^. Then I kinda edged towards Physics rather then Chemistry but not sure if I should still do biology if there's no point. I just wanted to see what people say here before I go discuss with the teachers of the said subjects.

Keys to doing well in Physics is learning off the definitions of things. If you can learn things off perfectly, then you can do well in physics. Maths does also play a pretty big role in it, and problem solving can be really handy.
How well did you do in the physics part of JC science? That's a reasonable indication

Got a B in higher Science, only got a D in higher maths tho.

I'd say you could still do it. While math's plays a big role, you can still do well with definitions, experiments and understanding.
I'd really recommend doing it, very interesting course
