What subject is your weakest

Aporia · 18-02-2006 2:43pm #1

i noticed i'm fine in ...

biology - just learn definitions and experiments in the cell section of the book and learn everything else thoroughly. i know that's taking a bit of a risk if i want an a but i'm willing to take it.

business - it's amazing probably about 100 words in the book just put together in different ways to make it utterly boring

geography - easy to study although a new course and students are still unclear about the way in which to answer questions

the 3, yes 3 subjects that are my weakest are...

art history - i only have studied medieval europe and pre christian ireland i never did art before only took it up in october
if anyone has tips on what to study for art or the exam itself please don't hesitate to pm me

any help would be appticiated

german - i find it really hard i got a d1 last year but the less stress more sucess book is really hrlpful if anyone is finding higher level german hard get yourself a copy

and english - i got on okay last year but this year i still haven't any poets or texts properly done :eek:

my weakest is chemistry

- though i think i should actually open the book and learn the definitions and experiments and i should be fine! That plan is being put into action after the midterm!

my strongest are French and English - as i'm fluent in both languages, i think i should do ok!!

Weakest has to be french, apart from that I'm ok.

Johnner111 · 19-02-2006 1:47am

Weakest probably french, but it's gettin there, i really feel myself improvin - do a hell of a load of written expression practice - it helps in some way i think

casanova_kid · 19-02-2006 12:34pm

probably Irish, i do pass though so i'm swinging along.

X-SL · 19-02-2006 2:22pm

physics or german

*Tripper* · 19-02-2006 3:27pm

Weakest-Physics, I really hate this subject
Best-Business, Im reallly hoping for an A

Gangsta · 19-02-2006 4:59pm

French defo. I just don't seem to be improving on reading comprehensions no matter how many I do. It's a real worry for me, if anyone has any tips on improving please share!

do you get french magazines in school?? Articles taken from actually French newspapers and magazines are in them...they're really helpful for vocab!

weakest subject when coming to doing it in an exam - accountancy
best subject - business

Aoibheann · 19-02-2006 9:12pm

examwise, I'd say maths is my weakest. Well, going by my atrocious mock paper.. back tomorrow

Then again, I can do all the stuff, I understand it etc so once I actually put some work in (I've basically ignored maths for two years..), I should be grand. Physics isn't great, but once I learn it I'm fine. My weakness is more my laziness.

Sorted for everything else, I think.. Doing business as an extra subject, so I dont need to worry so much about the weaknesses.

Gangsta · 19-02-2006 10:46pm

cheers for that abercrombie and Johnner111. Ya we do get 'em and tbh I think they're way too easy. Doesn't really help me in the reading comprehensions tbh!

exiot · 19-02-2006 10:50pm

Physics, but I do no work in it.. Im barley scraping a pass in Honours at the moment..

blahblah1234 · 20-02-2006 11:24am

Erm.....

My toughest ones would be Chemistry and English.....everything else is pretty easy for me.......

Holy crap, that's pretty much exactly how I am right now. Weird.

smemon · 21-02-2006 12:30am

my weak spot is remembering things.

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV · 21-02-2006 12:53am

same like quotations^^ and also accounting

John Doe · 21-02-2006 9:43pm

Weakest chemistry (does anyone else think the examiners are really picky and pedantic in this subject?).
Strongest English and French, except when I get a creative blank in the former. It happened in my mocks, it wasn't pretty (a story about a couple of talking sheep. ouch.)

Setun · 21-02-2006 10:05pm

Yeah I know what you mean with the english - i ended up writing about myself dreaming I met a red alligator stuck in a river, and when I called the vet he didn't believe me. I was making a point that teenagers aren't believed in today's Ireland. Bah.

ok, what you do for that is look up the marking scheme on www.examinations.ie
There's a trend with it, make sure you use the right word, like "colourless", not "clear" I think? They give marks once you have a certain set of words in it for definitions etc.

doonothing · 23-02-2006 7:53pm

strongest maths and english, weakest irish and TD .agh

Samurai · 23-02-2006 11:17pm

Strongest English and German, becasue I love both, and have a brilliant English teacher, if an absolutely useless, selfish, sarcastic wench of a German teacher who should have seriously considered going ot a different career guidance counsellor because the job induces regular breakdowns and ensuing seven-week absences. I have spent so much money on books I bought myself in the hopes of learning grammar and vocab. Thank God i'm seriously interested in the subject and will willingly learn stuff for it becasue other wise I'd be in deep hot water.

No other subject is a bother - History is just that damn special topic, Chemistry is ok except for the stupid need to be word-accurate to the punctuation in definitions and experiments - yes pedantic, thank you to whoever said it! Art History, I'd be fine if my teacher ever did it, it was pure utter fluke that what I knew came up in the pres, honestly all I had was Passage Graves, Book of Kells, Chalices and all that sivler artefacts stuff, Jack Yeats, Van Eyck, Masaccio, and the Turner exhibition we visited in January (be kinda funny if you tried to visit it at any other time of year, you'd be searching for a while). That is all I know. That is our coursework. Since September last year. I mean, what am I supposed to do with that?

Weakest Mathemagic. Then studying would be a very interesting and novel idea that might improve my skill and hence give me a slim chance at passing the LC. Laziness is a curse, I tells ya.

What subject is your weakest
