    I do ordinary Irish and I don't bother with it, I haven't actually done a bit of work for it and I sleep in class. Anyway I'm just concentrating on 6.

    Yeah i thought i'd be able to not worry about maths when i dropped this september, cos it would be my only pass subject.
    then i got 40% in the mock and got very scared. :(

    Wont concentrate as much i Maths maybe do some this weekend and next weekend. Because id really be trying to aim for an A because when you think about it that 60 points, and thatd make up for getting a pass in one of my honours subs!But its very unlikely ill get an A. Its so hard to make time for all 6 damn subjects

    age old argument but i really dont know how they, the powers that be, think we can learn 7 or eight courses properly.....I know maybe two well, and half know the rest :(
    oh well, nearly there!!!

    Doing the 8. Need a C3 higher maths for course but want a good B anyway. English is my worst subject so not doing much work there but still trying to do a bit for poetry, Hamlet and comparitive.

    Simona1986, make sure you don't fail English, because if you do you can't get into college - no matter how many points you have.

    I'm doing seven higher subjects, and I honestly don't know which is my wors, so I'm going at all seven - although I find it really hard to study Spanish, because I don't know what to do (apart from learning tenses) I got a B in it in the mocks and I have no idea how to improve it

    yeah, I'm doing 8, all at honours, but really don't know which ones to focus on because there's much of a muchness between most of them...possibly my worst would be Irish or English, but my English has gotten better because I've actually practised! and my Irish....it will really depend on the paper...
    feeling the pinch of 8 though *sigh*

    :)

    I was doing 8, but I dropped one because it was just too much. Blah. My worst subject just varies - sometimes it's Maths, sometimes it's Irish, etc. I wish it was more clear-cut so I could just concentrate on six! But I guess it's nice to know that if one goes absolutely crap, I still have six other subjects to fall back on

    just the 6 for me. Ordinary Irish is a night before job


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Back in the day, I concentrated on 6. I did nothing for pass Irish at all, and very little for honours English. Wound up having a bit of a disaster in accounting, and counting English for points...

    Nah - there isn't a chance of me failing. I got a C1 in the mocks with no work whatsoever and I'll have done a small bit come the 8th.

    Im focusing on 6! I can't get my head around Chemistry at all!!! I try and try! Any one got any Chem tips!??? I need help , pleeeease! :confused:

    At the moment, I'm focusing on 5. I'm doing higher Irish, but I go to an Irish speaking school so it's easy for me to study at the last minute. And I'm doing ordinary German so I'm not putting much work into that. I'm focusing mostly on Business, Maths and Geography.
    The other two, English and Accounting should fall into place sometime within the next week :D
