    Hows the year going so far? Mines going pretty well but Im still not studying nearly enough. Got 500 points in the midterms which is promising but this time of year is so cold and tiring its hard to stay motivated. Summer still seems so far away but its only around the corner really. Hows everybody else getting on?

    I hope to god I don't have to repeat, but probably will if I have to. What's it like the second time around? Any easier? Are you just completely focused on revising?

    Well, personally Im finding it easier the second time around, Ive a bit more cop on and take it seriously (which I didnt first time round) Im doing two completely new subjects so I have a heavy workload, but I would definately recommend repeating if someone feels they could do better, its not that hard and the stress isnt so bad ( maybe coz you have been through it all before!)

    It's higher because it's percieved to be a better degree. Also, in general, people who go to Trinity tend to have more points. Personally, I know four people who are doing science in TCD who all got over 560, and I'm sure there are more. And as you know, the points are based on demand, and so, the more people with higher points wanting to do the course, the higher the requirements.
    I'm in no way saying that TCD's science degree IS better, just that it's percieved to be.
    Actually, from what I've heard, UCD is better for physical and chemical sciences, while TCD is better for biological.
