Lucan Bohs' study log

Lucan Bohs

Hi,

I'm looking at doing International Commerce in UCD (495) or Business and German in Trinity (480). I'm interested in really any course to do with Business and German but these 2 are the best and most realistic I could find. My love of German stems from my interest in world football and with it being one of the more modem languages to have.

My Christmas results totalled to 460 so I'm getting there but obviously more work needed.

I only finished my mocks on Thursday (28th Feb) so won't have the results for a few weeks!

Results I'm hoping to get in the leaving;

Maths (OL) B3
Irish B3
English B2
German B1
Biology B3
Business A1
Economics A2
LCVP distinction (70pts)


Any questions please ask..!

Lucan Bohs

Plan for today is German, German and more German as my mock oral is next Tuesday/Wednesday

Lucan Bohs

So far today I've spent two hours covering the topics for the oral - myself,family, area, next year, hobby and school.

Plus went over the picture story - "Von zu Hause wegziehen"

Lucan Bohs

Spent 1 hour 20mins there doing;

-All Qs I've covered from 2012 Biology DEB mock (my friend who did the Leaving last year gave it to me. On a side note I'm going to take heart from his mock as he got 78% in it and then 97% in the real thing)
- OL short Qs from 2013 Business DEB mock (my teacher gave us the marking scheme)
- College + next year for Irish oral

Lucan Bohs

Results I think I got in the mocks;

Maths (OL) C2 (should hopefully be a B2/3 on the stuff we've covered)
Irish C1 ( without oral)
English C2
German B2 (without oral)
Biology C3
Business B1
Economics B3
