    Maths Paper 2. Our teacher decided to leave constructions until the last 10 minutes of our final maths class so I haven't a clue. I find the last 5 theorems impossible to remember and trigonomentry just does not make sense in my brain. So yeah, trying not to think about that one for a few days. Also History because I got 95 in the pres so even a B now would seem like an epic failure.

    I was worried about everything this week (except geography), especially Irish. English was okay, the Irish was...as expected, the maths was good.
    Irish paper 2 now tommorow :O My God I can't wait to dump all my Irish ****. I'm defo doing pass in leaving cert. It's also going to be nice to see the last of business, we got nothing done in class especially relating to accounts.
    So Irish and business. In history I was soooo close to an A in my mock, if I don't make an critical cock-ups like in my mock I might make it.

    It might be a bit late, but if you can manage to get your head round the constructions and theorems it would be good. If you can understand the theorem you'll be able to make a good stab at it, whereas if you're literally learning off letters it's not going to go into your head. And if you have a look at past papers you might have an idea of which ones are going to come up.

    If you got 95 in the pre, you should be ok! I only started learning the majority of the history course in the week or so before the JC and came out with an A.

    Thanks, I do definitely have to get my head around theorems alright, easy marks once you know them. It's going to be a fun weekend...

    Business and Maths 2. I am crap at trigonometry and remembering theorems, so I think I'm screwed. I had a good paper one though, so hopefully even if I don't do great on paper 2 I'll still get a pass. I got a C on paper 1 in the mock, but failed paper 2 so badly I failed the subject. :s

    I'm scared about SCIENCE and BUSINESS.
    Both are ones I only got a C in, in my mocks.
    I'm really worried about these...

    Really? The actual exams only 50% though, and most of it's just common sense. I regret picking it too though because it's just a joke of a subject...

    Ha 47% was the highest in our class too. Only 5 people passed :eek:

    I got 41%, but I think I'm worse off now than before the mocks, as we have had a teacher change since then and we're all a bit clueless now :confused:
