    just dropped down to pass maths this year and oh GOOD GOD is it easy.

    points: 530 or thereabouts

    course: history and politics would be nice but its points are usually sky high, if not that then pure history will do me


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,714 ✭✭✭conZ


    Holey shít, ye're all aiming fairly high, even though some of ye are doing one or even two Ordinary Level subject's - You might be leaving it a bit tight :).

    Following a detailed examination of subjects, I'm gonna hope for 450 (I calculated 430). Don't think i'll come near ~480 for Architecture. I'll always have Art's, Architectural Engineering or Construction anyways. Just looking at the GMIT site, might do Construction Management there - only 345 points in 2001.

    Yea, well i was aiming on my so-called "potential" but tbh i doubt ill manage it seeing as im doing it all in one year, Tbh i'll have to have a look at the UCAS form before i give a proper aim, im guessing ill get 450+ i want either psychology or architecture, failing that i'll haul a portfolio down for art&design

    I'm doing:

    Irish OL
    English HL
    Maths HL
    Applied Maths HL
    French HL
    Physics HL
    Chemistry HL
    Accounting HL

    I'm hoping to get about 450-500 points. Should be fairly achievable as long as i get an A1 in accounting (as i expect) and get at least C's in the rest.

    I want to do Commerce in either NUIG or UCD. Hopefully will go on to do accounting.
    Hence the A1 hopes.

    I wouldn't, it's not worth much.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Yeah, lol, im aiming 485+ and my xmas results were barely above 300. But i missed 2 weeks due to tonsilitus and 3 of my subjects are brand new to me so i have an excuse, but that doesn't mean that i aint gonna do crap in the lc... The hardest thing is knowing that you COULD do better
