31-10-2014 3:29pm#1Hi I'm in 5th year& I want to try and get medicine or engineering in trinity or ucd.... I want try to get at least 550 points in my leaving so I'll have a good chance of getting in. I was really disappointed with my JC results only got 2 As, hopefully I'll make up for it in the next 2 years.....:) The subjects I do are the following:
Maths HL
English HL
Irish HL
Applied Maths HL
French HL
Physics HL
Chemistry HL
Agricultural Science HL
I know that im a bit over doing it with all the sciences but I hope my choices will pay of.
I want to get the following:
Maths -A2
Emglish-B2
Irish-B3
Chemistry-A2
Ag Science-A1
Physics- B1
App Maths -A2
French-B1
Thats 565 hopefully I get this in LC 2016...
Wish me luck haha

Thanks, right now I am doing approx 2hrs of study on weekends and 1.30 hrs on weekdays. If you're doing over 2hrs or so most of your study will be procrastinating as I did earlier on in the year!
I think the most effective way to study is to do so in short bursts of 30 mins and 5 mins break in between each subject. You should really be studying 2 or 3 subjects max in that 2hrs. I study using past papers, I find it generally maximises you're output in study than say making tonnes of notes without thinking. I also watch videos for areas I find particularly difficult for example in maths I use Khan's Academy.It generally depends on what type of learner you are and finding what suits you best, for example I am a visual learner so I find videos really helpful.
I normally do 1 hr before homework and 1 hr after homework. It's easier than studying for 2hrs straight as I generally lose concentration easily. As I said before finding whats best for you is what matters the most!
Good luck with you're medicine aspires! 0 -
Well long time no see !
Got a lot done since then I finshed my irish and ag science notes and almost done physics and chemistry. The problem is how do you study for english?? I did out the character traits and possible themes from king lear but learning them is the challenge!
Started studying for the summer exams yesterday , well to say the least I have a lot of stuff to cover. We're getting an applied maths one too (Thats 4 questions worth of revision )
Anyways these are my aims:
Maths : I feel i can pull of an A maybe an A2....
English : I'm really struggling with this subject , not going to use it for points so... C1
Irish : I'm finding it quite manageable soo far , my teacher says I can get an A in the leaving... well she's clearly wrong ! Maybe a B2?
French : Got 92 in the oral so.. an A.
Chemistry : An A1 at least.
Physics : I'm not really getting the basic concepts behind it all , thanks to my s****y teacher. Maybe a B1?
Ag Science : Using this for points so an A1 minimum!
App Maths : Well this bi**h , any type of B would do grand... B1?
Total : 575 ! 0 -
