Dropping to OL Irish with 7 other HL subjects

    Hi guys, so right I'm in 5th year and I've gotten my Christmas tests back today. Got 56% in Irish. That's 2% off a D and that's really worrying me.. I got a B in HL JC with little to no work (but I didn't study study for anything and got A/Bs).

    My question is: is it worth putting in the work and then probably getting a low B in the real thing or would I be better off dropping to pass because I know for a fact I won't be using it for points? Like the ONLY reason I'm in HL is because I love the language and I'm doing 7 other HL subjects (English, Maths, French, Chemistry, Physics, Music, Russian) and aiming for 520 points. So technically I would be probably better off not wasting precious time on Irish. Help? ..Anyone? :confused:

    Please don't base your expectations for Leaving Cert. on what happened at Junior Cert.. They are entirely different exams, marked in an entirely different way.
