So... have ye actually started studying yet? Properly?

Steve Collins · 11-01-2010 10:53PM #1

Hi lads.

Just wondering if any of ye feel good or bad at the moment for the JC. I was studying a good bit before the Pre Pres in November and after that I've stopped a bit. Well I am studying like but I dunno if I am enough. My Pres start on teh 24th of February and it's only around the corner when you think about it. I'm worried about the Pres, even though they're not really important (apart from giving you an idea of subject level and stuff).

How about ye?

I'm the exact same, studied loads in Sept & Oct and just stopped. Tomorrow's a month to my mocks, so I'm gonna start up again tomorrow!

bluejay14 · 12-01-2010 12:46AM

The 24th!!!!!!!!!

Mine start the 1st and I haven't really even properly started.:eek::eek::eek:

GLUEY · 12-01-2010 02:07AM

Dear Jesus lads, don't study for the feckin' Junior Cert!

WanderingSoul · 12-01-2010 02:10AM

They haven't told us when they start, but I know they end on the 12th. And I've started studying for everything but History.

Yeah I've been putting off History for that reason.

I had a crap teachers for 1st and 1/2 of 2nd year so I don't remember anything, I really need to start it.

Study? Not at all bearly do homework as it is!
Fairplay to anyon who does study though I'm sure the results ye get will pay off!

Leftyflip · 12-01-2010 04:46PM

I've been getting "You better get all B's or higher" now for a few days, arguements ensued, I'm not gonna study...

CookieMonster.x · 12-01-2010 08:22PM

I studied a bit at the beginning and then just couldn't keep up because I'm so tired (I do less than last year and I'm more tired

)
so then I did a bit around Christmas and studied yesterday too in my dad's office too and then tomorrow also.
But I've only really done home ec, business, geography, music and science. History I just can't do, I try to seem interested but the book has like so much info and the revision book has like it totally condensed but I don't know what to learn for history

Now just to do religion (did like part a, how boring), irish and english. French is easy, so is cspe.

knockane_ali09 · 12-01-2010 08:58PM

i have been trying to study the last few days i just cant seem to bring myself to do it properly......
i need to do business, geography and irish because they are my weakest subjects
i really dont want to think about how close the pres are right now.....

WanderingSoul · 12-01-2010 09:12PM

Just found out my mocks start on the 28th; 2 and a half week's time! :eek:

Jackobyte · 12-01-2010 10:28PM

Haven't started yet, for anything. Didn't have xmas tests so didn't even study for them:eek: I dunno if I'll do anything for the PREs at all. maybe just use them to see what you remember and what to proper study before the JC.

That said, I'll still probably become a study freak for the next 2 weeks!

Me too, probably.

katiemce · 13-01-2010 12:35AM

I'm kinda worried because I didn't :eek: I'm kinda sh1tting it now. I mean they're in less than a month now...

MoyVilla9 · 13-01-2010 01:26AM

No one cares about the Mocks. It's the exam in June that matters.

Fad · 13-01-2010 02:47AM

Merged......no need for two threads.

People do care about the mocks though.....

Luno · 13-01-2010 09:35PM

Actually I've changed my mind, a teacher told me homework is study so therefore I've been studying all year

@Mary:Are you only doing your JC this year? Your 16 so I presumed you'd be TY at least.

RML · 17-01-2010 01:55PM

OMG!!!!!!!!!
I haven't actually studied for mocks yet, nearly 4 weeks to mocks for us........
everyone says mocks is sooooooo hard than actual J.C

Leftyflip · 17-01-2010 01:57PM

Because if they don't do good in their Junior Cert they will never get a job:rolleyes:
Obviously :pac:

the lil man · 17-01-2010 06:19PM

probably not the best thing to be saying, but ill say it anyway.
dont worry about the JC obviously study and try, but some people go overboard. still go out to your friends n have a laugh.
the teachers make the JC sound like it will decide your life but it doesnt. It is a sight of what the LC is like but it is not as important. Try do an hour a day and you'll definitely pass. Even if you listen and do your homework properly you should pass. but you should study to do really well

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't actually studied for mocks yet and it is only... *goes to check calendar* 15 days til they start! / RML voice:P

Steve Collins · 17-01-2010 10:58PM

I dunno how I managed to do it, but over the last few days I've been studying really hard. And usually it's difficult for me to study hard unless I have the exam the next day so I'm pretty proud of myself and hope it'll keep up

37 days to go 'til the pres...

suitcasepink · 17-01-2010 11:09PM

I have a book beside me and a tab open, waiting for me to revise...
I really should start tbh my pres are the 4th which is just over 2 weeks I think?

Im sure a lazy person..... :pac:
