Lads, I meant to say this earlier.

Today, three score ten years ago, some 150,000 men landed on the beaches of Normandy.

Today, we landed on the beaches of Maths Paper 1.

We waded, and waded. The SEC launched barrage and barrage.

As of now, we are under the cliff face.

By Monday, we will be on the road to Paris.

In 61 hours, we will have prevailed.

We will have vanquished tyranny and oppression.

And we shall.

I'll be lucky to get 10% from paper 1 :pac:

Fail maths, fail the whole leaving cert...is that one of those myths or actual truth?

Haha nice. That's putting procrastination to good use! Maybe if you do history you could pass it as revision

Most colleges need a pass in maths and English(and sometimes Irish and/or a European language too) for matriculation. There are ones that don't need it and some let you take a test over the summer, I think.

I don't really understand this whole 'fail the whole Leaving Cert' thing though.

praying it won't be impossible but who knows

UCD Arts doesn't require maths.

Could you not go do maths under arts (no special requirements) and become a maths teacher after failing maths in the leaving cert :pac:

I'm fairly sure It used to actually be a case that if you failed maths, Irish or English you "failed" your leaving cert and couldn't go to college.

If you do end up failing (hopefully not of course) some places let you sit maths exams in their college and if you pass you get accepted! I'm not DEFINITELY sure though

They do, CIT does it like two days after the results or something. It's supposed to be quite a difficult exam though...

I remember they came to our school to show us what the course was about, they said feck all about it and at the end we got a small booklet filled with poetry and other pretentious nonsense.

I think I knew more about BIS before they talked to us :rolleyes:

Unfortunately they didn't come to my school, but it's a perfect mix of both business and technology, two of my interests which lead me to it! Pity it's 440 and possibly rising again next year though....

I dunno, there's no one in my school hoping to do it out of about 100. Going by that the demand can't be that big...
