Well to be honest I would still rather do business then Irish because if I did Irish I would have been doing 3 languages and that is excl.English :eek:
I would go mad

I did it in primary school and did not like to do it one bit in there as it was too much of my time to learn the stuff e.g. madra. pog ma hon, what ever :P
So I decided ahh YOLO so went up to principle and simply said in the 1st day of 2ndary school that I never did Irish

God I am so worried about English as it is my weakest subject

meh, only as worried as I was for other exams. I've looked at past papers for most of my subjects and I think I'm grand for a lot of them. Done some good study for Geography, History and Science over last few days. Remember lads, it's only the junior cert, it's no more important than your exams from all the other years.

maybe in theory but in practice, it's really not. It'll have the same effect on your life as any other exams you did.

It's the first major exam most people do, which makes it important. It's also a rite of passage in Ireland.

Yes, there will be more important exams, more difficult exams, but right here, right now, it's important for tens of thousands of 15/16 year olds.

I do not like the Junior Cert, they should have finished the JC when we came to 2ndary school in 2010

It is important for me now, probably more important than the others as it includes all 3 years worth but I don't see how the fact that it's a state exam should give this aura of important to the Junior cert. It's only going to have the same effect on me as any other exam I've done, apart from being practice for bigger exams to come I don't really know why I should be thinking it's much bigger than the other exams I've done

Do bad in your JC = Bad fifth year class = Bad working environment = Bad LC

Don't think it's a walkover because it won't be, you'll be suprised when you walk into an english exam thinking you'll be fine and it's not important when you're waffling 90 marks of stuff you should have on hand.

Put your head down for the next few weeks and try your best, because it is important.

Okay, first of all, that happens with all exams, where you are put into a better class based on results, I was put in higher level maths and irish based on results in 1st year exams. It's not exclusive to Junior Cert. I never suggested it was a walkover in any instance. I suggested that it is only marginally more important than previous exams I've done. For all you know I could've studied hours and hours for English in previous exams, continuing with this exam. I am studying more than other exams, simply because there is more within the course of 3 years. I really just don't value it more than other exams I've done.

You were put into your LC class in first year? That seems weird. So, it's more important, but you don't value it more than the other exams, even though it is more important? That's weird haha

Anyways, off to study now. I hope I can grasp these ledgers once and for all. G'luck!

No, I said I was put into classes based on results then. I'm saying it's not the first exam where I've been put into classes based on results. And I said it's only marginally more important for the reasons that it's the 3 years of stuff and good practice. Beyond that, which I don't think is to the importance of all the stress people are under recently, I don't value it all that much more than previous exams. Maybe a bit, I guess. I still feel it's gonna have the same effect on me as any other exam.

Its been awhile since I did my junior cert but all it does is decide where you'll be in your leaving cert classes so it is important to do well in the subjects you want to continue. And dont forget CSPE, its very important and everything can be made better with posters!
