    nice wee stories are half a page long and have a nice ending!!

    our nice stories are 6 pages long with disaterous endings... and you do that 5 times!

    History is easy to get an A in you just have to work really hard at it.

    Statistically classics is the hardest paper to get an A1 in, and its damm hard to do :)

    6 pages each , are u crazy man . The MOST i would write on 1 essay is 4 pages and an average af about 2.5 and in that space i can elaborate on all of my points
    A few examples :Land Purchase 2.5 pages
    Parnell 4
    Gladstone 3.5
    Fianna Fail 3 or 3.5 if 45-48 is inc.
    France 3
    Busmark 3

    Now that is a contradiction if ever I heard one. Anyhow.. I'd definitely say Irish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭StickyMcGinty


    Irish, no way hozay!

    in history the most i've written was 11 pages on one topic... sinn Féin. loads a notes on that. i wrote 44 pages in tne mocks and did question 1 twice on diff topic to scrape more marks. but i've not much prep done for tuesday!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 91 ✭✭DSMe


    What?? That is impossible ... u writin must be massive ... i couldnt write 44 pages on my own life ... i mean common 44 pages in 3.4 hours or whatever it is , would be really freakin hard

    Physics & chemistry together are relatively easy or so i'm told by several people.

    I did physics and chemistry seperately, and yet i'd still go for irish being the hardest subject if you're weak at languages (like i am), B1 in physics compare with a C2 in irish and i spent at least 5 times the amount of time studying irish over physics.

    I'd have to totally disagree with you on Chemistry. As far as im concerned its both the smallest and easiest course of the eight that I'm doing. Well, the applied maths course might be shorter.

    Biology, biggest workload ever.. also the biggest pile of ****e i shouldnt have listened toa ll them 5th years sayin that was the easiest science:/ i regret it badly:(

    I think (in my day) Biology was the easiest science subject (I did all 4).

    All biology is, is learn and recite.

    Chemistry, Physics and Applied Maths all more applied brainpower.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    History is the same, just learn it off and recite, theres no real chalange to it, unless they throw some funky topics your way, but if you';ve learnt off enoguh you can pick nice topics.

    My easiest course would have to be maths, or maybe physics.
    Physics is the same, its a no brainer, just learn it off and recite it.

    I think english is the hardest subject there is just because you have to have a certain zing to get an A1 in it.
    Then again if you put enough work you could memorise all the essays.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,269 ✭✭✭p.pete


    I found Biology and Tech Graphics the easiest and Languages in general the hardest.

    The answer to this question varies depending on the person and their attitude / aptitude towards each subject
