Leaving Cert 2016/17 Off-Topic Thread

Just wondering lads what do ye think of my idea of getting up early in the morning to squeeze maybe an hour of extra study in for the summer tests. I do study at school already which is 2 hours and then maybe half hour at home, this isn't enough and I just can't make any more time anywhere else in the day other than just getting up earlier, thoughts

I find a lot of the time when I get home I am very tired so I find going to bed early and getting up early can work for me.

Ya true and I find that I am more of a morning person than most and am more alert, probably just need to go to bed a bit earlier

Okay slightly panicking about summer tests lolll,
For those who do history I found a very good website that has notes so if you're behind in class etc,
Im not sure if I'm allowed to link it? But Google leaving cert history notes and it's the second link. ðŸ‘

Just had a quick look at that website and it looks really good! Definitely going to be using it in the next few weeks as I engage in a major cramming session...

Has anyone here started their RSR? We have to have our first draft of the extended essay in by the end of the year.

We've done three and are doing one more this year.

My class have done two poets , Hamlet , a good few question Bs ,One of the comparative modes and we're moving on to our next poet in the next few days.

We've done 4/5 poets and are starting another one next week. We've also done the comparative and a good few essays and comprehensions and that stuff.

Ok I'm not the only one it's annoying and its worse when it's the subject you love and do well in class questions

How do you guys get all your exams done in one week??? Ours is a bit over 2 weeks long!

Do you only have one paper per subject. We have two papers for English, Irish and Maths plus orals and listening.

I have 1 paper per subject and doing about 3 subjects per day I think anyway

One paper for each subject. 3 exams on the first 3 days and 2 on a Friday. Options such Geography and Home ec have special allocated times since their is two classes also biology but the the rest of the options are slotted for option 1 e.g business or chemistry option 2 e.g or music option 3 woodwork or history so on. Orals and listening sate done in class.

What subject is your favourite at the moment? Mine is English even though I'm not the best at it but it's enjoyable and the teacher is sound.

One paper per subject all orals, aurals and practicals are done in class before the exmas. We definitely wouldn't have enough of paper two covered to maths to get a full paper done you must be flying through the course.
