    I skipped Ty even though all my friends did it . I admit I was young doing my lc this year having just turned 17. I got on ok in my leaving cert . This is just for people on the fence or who aren't certain about going straight into 5th year .
    Being a year younger isn't a disadvantage . I hope to be a fully qualified dentist by 22. Skipping Ty turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life . I quickly made new friends too.
    Just my 50 cents .

    Hi everyone,

    I'm Darragh from Carlow :)

    Starting 5th year in 9 days :o

    Have to say the fact I'm at this stage in school is more daunting than study but anyway..

    I'm doing
    HL Irish,English,Geography,History,Business,German and Biology.
    OL Maths

    Just need to get off to a good start and I should be fine :)

    Good luck to all of you!

    Haha yeah same, we literally did nothing all year... :( what subjects are you doing?

    Doing all higher level: English, Irish, Maths, French, Chemistry, Biology, Business. :)
    Unsure whether to take subjects out of school or not because I feel like I've enough on my plate as it is! But if I were to do something outside of school it would either be music (because I've always been good at the piano,I'm planning on doing my grade 8 exam in November) or Ag. Science because my school only offers it as an extra after school class (I think this subject would be ok because my natural strengths are in the science subjects and I live on a farm and both my parents are farmers which would help with the agricultural side as well! :)

    Haha, I'm doing the exact same subjects as you, plus I'm definitely taking Ag Science!

    Geography
    Biology

    Physchem seems quite interesting, you're lucky you can take it. I literally don't know anyone whose school offers it!

    That's because it's only for schools who lack the resources to offer both subjects individually.

    Or where there isn't the student interest to make two full separate classes.

    I'm doing all higher level English, irish, maths, chem, biology, accounting, French and I'm doing music outside of school :) is forced to do lcvp in my school for fifth yr but I'll probably give it up come sixth year.
    I'm just after completing my jc this year with 12 subjects which was so draining! I hope I got on well.
    I go to a public school and I love it so much, opting out of Ty just because I'm too goal driven and motivated by learning .. <3 I've no problems with private schools and ok they may be points driven but it's true that so many people get loads of grinds that go to public school so schools are just like that :) roll on 5y

    That's really great :) my twin brother is doing Ty which is weird as it's the first time we'll be split even though we attend different secondary schools anyway..
    I'm excited to go back but I'm afraid I've gone rusty over the summer due to lack of revision but there's not much I can do .... Totally new cycle for me ... Scary

    To give ye a little info on meself! Haha. Well currently doing 7 HL maths, irish, English, German, business, economics, biology and planning on taking up music cos my school has **** options and I had to chose before the junior cert! (We had an unfairly academic TY) Really want to do music and then pass irish cos who needs 8 HL subjects! Parents aren't too fond on it though! Don't like biology really like businessy stuff! Since we have done an academic TY we have around 10-15 chapters in each subject done! Crazy unfair? Gluck to ye all ;)
