    I've been looking through some LC biology notes (maybe try get a head start ;)) and honestly, it looks easy. I read through a few chapters, and I remember everything (except the exact spelling of the VERY LONG words). My brain somehow manages to understand all these processes that happen, it just clicks for me. My teacher is a very good science teacher :).

    Nothing like a small confidence boost for Leaving Cert biology :D

    Not studying :rolleyes: it was reading, but I was generally curious on the chapters ... so I guess my brain naturally absorbed the information because it's super interesting ;).

    Same here. I wouldn't recommend people to 'learn off the book'. The method is too old school and time consuming, not to mention not everything in the book is examined.

    Came from TY! I absolutely loved it, got so many great experiences from it, but it was academically boring so I'm looking forward to 5th year! :)

    From memory, I got:
    1 A (Science)
    5 B (CSPE, Religion, History, Geography, Maths)
    3 C (Italian, Home Ec, English)
    1 D (Irish)

    All higher except CSPE.

    To be honest, I was very disappointed with my JC, I did WAY better on my mocks, but I've moved on.
