Hey guys have just recently copped onto the fact that im sitting my Junior Cert in june O.o.
My mocks results are as follows
geog 90%
business 85%
history 80%
science 82%
german 76%
Maths 62%
english 65%
CsPE 83%

i havent studied since the mocks but am willing to do what it takes to turn most of the b's there to a's and hopefully improve my c grades as well.
Do you guys think there is enough time, im starting to put in 4 hours each day now for the rest of the easter break.

Thankss guys

lowest mark 62%? you'll be grand with a even a little bit of work,

4 hours a day is good, it's just a matter of sticking to studying that much up to the Junior Cert! My advice, keep studying the subjects you got an A in, just do it the way you've always done it because you know you're doing something right! That way, you won't get any nasty surprises. Do a lot of study on the weaker subjects anyway, thats a given.

They're great results for a mock though, they're usually difficultly marked!

Assuming that all of these subjects are higher level then they are pretty good results for mocks!
Most of the study I did was a week or two before the exams and I did pretty well so four hours a day should be more than sufficient. A bit too much if ya ask me!!

In China the students do 16 hours a day.

You are all WAY overestimating how hard it will be to do well in the JC.
It is designed for an average, literate student to do well.

I hardly studied for the mocks, and I got 2 A's, 4 B's, 2 C's and 2 D's. I didn't study for religion and I got an A. It's amazing what little study can do, i'm aiming for at least 7 A's and 3 B's. Note that I did all higher 8)

Is it too late?
