    With the CAO application deadline approaching I thought you might find this useful. It allows you to analyse, compare and predict CAO points for most Irish courses. I posted this last August and it received a good response.

    You can try it out here: caopointschecker.com

    Here's an example graph:

    Good luck,

    I think it's brilliant. Do you know who created it?

    Brilliant! Very useful.

    Quite amazing, when comparing course trends within the country. However, they are not indicative of how the economic status/job market will be within 3-6 years which is a mistake people seem to be making. It's what I'm telling myself as I place UCD Architecture as my first option, never lose hope.

    Props for making it, very useful. Adding more comparison options would take it a step further ;D perhaps moving the compare boxes below the graph if you were to do that, to keep the layout feng shui.

    Ditto on that if you're going ahead :D

    BIS in UCC is a perfect example of how points rise with supply and demand..I'm praying they stay at their level or even drop this year for me :(

    Conveniently, three of the courses I'm looking into at UCD are nearly on a level playing field. DN100, DN150, DN201 .. joyous time to be sitting the LC, for the most part. I'm not sure which course dropped/rose dramatically last year, something like 70-75 points!
