    The cao website says that round one opens at 6 o clock .
    Are the offers immediate ? Like if I wake up at 6 should the offer be there .

    Yes.

    They'll still be there at 6.30 and 7 etc. though ... ;)

    What often happens at 6 is everyone tries to log in at once and the system slows down or crashes, giving rise to panic.

    If you're able to sleep but want to wake up early to check, I'd actually advise setting your alarm for slightly after 6, when the worst of the mayhem has died down. ;)

    It should be there on the website, yes.

    But bear in mind that there are 60,000 or so others trying to log on at the same time..

    It doesn't matter what time you log in at as the offer will be there. Just get a good nights sleep and wake up 10 am.

    Try the forums for those colleges.

    They usually spring up after Monday, but some may have started already.

    Education applications have risen over 5% this year so I'm nervous for Monday as I want to do Home Economics teaching. I'm about 20 points over and I have HEAR so I'll hopefully be okay.

    It depends, I got NUI Maynooth last month in round zero and the offer was there at 6, but some people's weren't up until around 9

    +/- 5 or 10 points. Complete guess.

    http://www.caopointschecker.com/ Look at CK601 to see that predictions are near impossible.

    Mental. I wonder did the college reduce the number of places on the course. That would have led to an increase in points. A 90 point rise is mental in any course, and while possible for all courses, fairly unlikely in the general scheme of things.

    Didn't get science. I hate CAO with all my heart. Good enough points since the course was created but the year I want to do it... Nope.
