    OK I am so so stressed right now. I mean all the other subjects I'm OK With but Math's at ordinary Level It's bugging me so much. I got 15 percent in the mocks. Is there any way you could get into a PLC course with foundation Maths?

    I really think it would be worth spending the time to move that up to 40 percent! Just in case there are other courses in the future you would like to do. PLC's are different so you need to look up the specific requirements for the one you want to do.

    You might be able to get your grades up if you get grinds maybe? You might give these a try:

    http://themathstutor.com/ - maths videos focused on project maths
    They also provide free live teaching. check out the schedule: http://www.themathstutor.ie/operationmathsformation.html

    Not only could you get into a PLC course with FL maths, there are lots of third-level courses, including degree courses, that you could get into with FL maths, and also lots that you can get into without any maths at all.

    Check out qualifax.ie for details. It currently lists 414 courses that accept Foundation level maths.

    You should talk to your teacher about your realistic chances of getting a D3 at Ordinary level, consider your interests and what courses or areas of study you might be interested in, and make a cool and calm decision about it.

    If that is the course you are talking about...you need a c3 in ordinary maths :/ unless in special cases it says students will be accepted

    I am not sure , i think it would be best if you were to just email them , they have a tel number and an email address at the bottom of that page and just ask them any questions you have :)

    I would just warn you that computer science might not be the best course for you if you're struggling so much with Ordinary Maths. There's a lot of maths involved in computer science, especially matrices etc.
