    Oh yeah I get you.. I'll probably have to do French outside by myself as well, for matriculation. French was my worse subject for JC (the only C I got :mad: ) so I dropped it for 4th year. I'm going to try to take it back up again though. So I'll be doing 9 as well which is kinda stupid but I'll see how it goes :eek:

    If it's any use to you I don't really like Applied Maths :p I only keep it on because I've gotten straight As so far. It's not very difficult but it's basically just another Maths subject. There's not as much Physics and stuff involved as I thought. You might like it more than I do though! :O

    Is it harder/easier than normal maths?

    I don't even really know tbh :p It's hard to compare! It's a completely different subject but it's very very mathsy (I really should have known that since it is called Applied Maths). It's almost completely sum-based whereas I thought there'd be more theory or whatever! A lot of people just made it seem ridiculously easy to me before I did it :P

    My school is public and it's probably one of the best schools in Cork. The teachers are great but so are the students. I think the dynamic between the teachers and students is the key to how successful it is. Not how much money you spend there.

    Youre very lucky and its a different situation in the part of dublin im from (despire this school claiming to be one of the best in ireland) and this is just based on my own experiences. And your right the standard is not based on the fees
