Repeating

19-06-2010 02:20PM#1Hey guys
In short - LC was horrible for me.
Determined to get a course I want. But, the way it all went, im screwed.
So - To the repeaters out there - can you tell me about what i need to know whilst making this decision.
1. What is it like to repeat in a PLC ?
2. If you do 6, can you leave maths out? as i struggled and i feel i passed, but will have anxious breakdown if i gotta go through it again...
3. English - I did King lear for comparative - would they cover diff bits in course that wasnt on ours
4. Can you take on a new subject - cant go through english again
Like - whats the system like???

Yeah, if you repeat you don't have to do english, irish, maths or your language again if you don't want to (considering you passed and don't want to count the points)
Lear isn't on the course next year?
Yes you can take on as many new subjects as you like.

The second time around it goes a lot faster and is much easier (as long as you do some work).
I repeated this year. It was 100 of us all in the same boat. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
As long as you pass the subject and don't need a higher grade for your course requirement you can drop it.0 -

I couldn't recommend this enough.
I did 7th year their this year and believe me it is the best repeat programme in the country. Although it is very intense (nicknamed the bootcamp),the teachers are brilliant, the career guidance is second to none and everyone gets on very well. They make you do alot of work through the year but it all pays off in the end.
Also while you may be a snob
if this repeat programme is good enough for people from private schools such as Blackrock college,St. Michaels, Mt. Anville and CBC Monkstown(my old school
), believe me it is good enough for you. Also no uniform 
Also yes English is very different,different text,poets and comparative.
This School also requires you to take up a minimum of two new subjects.
And no you don't have to do Maths again provided you got a C or Higher in ordinary, same with Irish aswell:D0 -
im in cork :P so as far as i know college of commerce is my only option....unless anyone has suggestions?
DL saint: I reckon i only got a pass in maths OL - is that ok?
Oh god. If ive to do maths AGAIN
I cried so much over it as im frankly, not able for it. 0 -

Estupido!Medicine is the only course in the country where you cannot carry matric requirements to the next year like normal. So you may get an HB1 in english this year but due to the different LC english course for next year you decide to do pass and settle for an OD3 picking up your points in a new subject. That's the rule I'm afraid
Thats unfortunate...
Thanks anyways 0 -

Like Pathway said it depends on the entry requirements for your chosen course but most are a C in Ordinary minimum.yourmother wrote: »What if you just passed maths? Do you really have to take it again? :mad:
2 other subjects - would ya get them covered in a year? The school sounds really good though
Yes you do get the two new cources covered in a year because the teachers specilise in teaching the subjects in a year, every course gets covered in the year regardless if it is new to you or not.
I took up Ag. Science and Home Ec. and I found them beneficial.
Also there is a project that takes up around 40% of the ag course.0 -

Ah righty cool! Em no like my course just requires a pass so would the school insist that I still do the maths? Not too bad.. I already do home ec so I'd probably want to take up a language maybe Spanish I already do French. What's the interview like? Thanks for all the help! 0 -
