Repeat Leaving cert advice

kcera

So I have decided I am going to repeat,I did 7 subjects last year,I did English(0L),Irish,Maths,Spanish,Geography(HL),History(OL) and Religion(OL).

I need two new subjects,I have decided Im going to do English,History,Geography and religion.

Does anybody have any other advice on two new subjects? I was thinking Business,economic,accounting,physics,biology,chemistry?

Which of these subjects would anybody recommend,I would be looking for a HC3 in them at least.

Why do you need new subjects? Would it not be much less work to build on subjects you have already spent two years studying?

I'm also repeating this year.
I'd advice you to do biology but just be aware that there's a lot of work that needs to go into it.
where are you thinking of repeating?

Dropping Maths and Irish because I did ordinary level and just don't like them,I worked really hard this year and I think I achieved the best possible grade,A C1 in Maths and C3 in irish.

I also be doing HL english,Religion and history.I did them all at ordinary level last year..

A great deal of writing in History and Geography, but project/essay work in both, which helps. Will you be in a school with access to a teacher to sign off on your practical work?

I would recommend business, it's a very worthwhile subject and practical. I'm going into 6th year now not as a repeat, but if I could go back I would drop biology, there is an incredible amount of work learning wise to do. You have to learn nearly a chapter a night! I have decided I won't be counting it as I'm doing8 subjects.
I didn't do economics but I wish I did. It is meant to be similar to business, I know some things are the same. Good luck with it

Yes I think I will do business!

So the subjects I am going to do are:

English(HL)-C2(65)
Irish(OL)-C1(30)
Maths(OL)-B2(40)
Geography(HL)-B2(80)
History(HL)-C1(70)
Religion(HL)-C1(70)
Business(HL)-A new subject-Maybe a C3(60)

So thats 385 Points,Although I would Love to break 400!
