    I got a B in German I think, love that language.

    Gonna be hard to remember it after not doing it basically at all in TY.

    I find learning languages really rewarding as a subject, so that's why I like them!! I've always been borderline A/B in French though, but managed to nab the A in the jc !

    Not a waster, just wasnt ready for LC, especially after working hard to get nearly straight As in the JC. :D

    My TY wasn't a waste. I had time to enter many competitions, and won some. My team came second place in this All-Ireland competition - which would look good on any CV. Also figured out what I'd like to do at University level and so on.

    If you apply yourself to everything your teachers throw at ye, then it's not a waste. ;)

    That's cool well done. All I was saying I could do all that and still do a fair bit of work!

    I was held back like my first year of school plus I did TY.

    If I hadn't have been held back or did TY I would've been starting college next month...

    That's scary for me to think about...

    Glad I did TY... I think :pac:

    Careerportal, if you go to the Cao search on it you can search for your course and they have updated it to the 2014 points
