    Best: English and History, although I didnt do honours in either.

    Worst: Maths - foundation.

    Despite this, I still think Im more intelligent than a large percentage of the brain dead morons in this country. It depends on how you measure it I guess.

    Best was chemistry and the worst was business. I can blame the business one on my shambles of a teacher though because I have a degree in each now.

    My worst subject (excluding practical subjects like metalwork, woodwork etc. which I only did in 1st year and completely failed at) was maths but it was one of my favourites so I still ended up doing a maths degree. My maths ability is still nowhere near as good as I'd like but I'm doing a Masters in September so I can't be that hopeless.

    My best was English but a crap Junior Cert teacher killed my enthusiasm for it. Was also good at Irish (though I've forgotten it all now) and Geography.

    My best subject was Geography and my worst was Irish.

    Second best would probably have been (at LC level) Biology and second worst was Maths.

    Best: French, Business, English.

    Worst: Technical Graphics.

    I'm very academic, but I just never could understand TG. I despised the teacher too.

    Did crap in Geography (iirc I got a D3 at HL) and LCVP (didn't do a great work experience write-up), they were boring. I tried to do physics and was abysmal at it. Good thing PhysChem wasnt put on or I would've been screwed.

    I liked OL Maths and was okay at it. I got more points doing a plc course than the annoying leaving cert so it didn't really matter in the end.

    I kinda put it down to making my eyes bad from being on a computer a lot and didn't get glasses until the year after school ended. Of course I wouldn't sit closer to the front! At least the Maths teacher made an effort to write bigger for me.

    Worst was Irish. Only subject I did pass in and still struggled with it in places.

    Going by my LC results my two best were Maths and History (B1 in both at honours level)

    Worst was Economics by a long way (D3 :(), teacher was fooking useless, every Friday he was basically hungover and the other days he was clueless. Did Economics in 3rd Level a year later and have to say the guy who lectured us was fantastic!
