    What do most of yee tend to do the day before the exam.I'll just spend an hour and a half or so looking over English,then head into town to take my mind off it.

    Will anybody spend the day cramming?

    i remember the day before the JC, i spent it shopping.

    one of my friends parents saw me in town and was like " :eek: shoudl you not be studying?!"



    i'll look over English, and Irish Paper 2 stuff, cos well.. theres a lot to know..


    i might watch On The Waterfront, just cos its brilliant, and it can be an excuse for studying for my comprative...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,424 ✭✭✭fatal


    this is what we have been waiting to do for 14 years after all those long years of school...........
    Yea i will be studyin today just like its any other day...no matter how well you have prepared all year you are never know everything off 100% so why not spend the last day just goin over some key points etc

    at this point, all im going to do is run through a few bits, get the names of different people into my head, and take it handy. No point in worrying or stressing, it aint the end of the world.

    All else fails, There is always another option, life isnt a one route track,

    Some serious cramming. Have not looked at the single text in a month. Also got poetry to learn. Also got maths. I just realised to get an A1 in honours I will need 270 on each paper. That I'm not looking forward to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,080 ✭✭✭eamoss


    I had the english paper in my hand about 10mins ago thus being a JC one & in a green bag which is not very transparent.

    If only my dad was examining leaving cert :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 218 ✭✭willowmegs


    Just think, after tomorrow we'll never ever have to write about Lear or poetry ever again :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,467 ✭✭✭smemon


    spent the last hour studying for the 1st time since the pre's.

    it's remarkable how much ive taken in during that hour, my method of just-in-time learning is working wonders atm.

    late night tonight for me, i'll get to sleep round 3. still relishing this exam though, no fear :cool:

    god speed


  • Registered Users Posts: 96 ✭✭anna.fun


    I'm really excited... after tomorrow I'll never have to bother with poetry and "Of mice and men" again... Will enjoy they day outside and read some short stories and articles...

    roll on.. good luck everyone tomorrow...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,109 ✭✭✭ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

    don't let it get to you at this stage..you've been doing so well!!! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,467 ✭✭✭smemon


    english is a breeze, everyone is just freaking our over it because it's the first exam. :cool:

    the fun will start with irish paper 2 :) hardest paper above all on the leaving certificate exams. havn't done a tap for it yet.

    bluff the poems cuz there given to you, make up the stair as best as i can, then sumarise the two stories.

    basically damage limitation for irish paper 2.

    you can't hack the pressure :)

    ahhh, it's like the titanic when it sinks, im standing on railings with rose and jack whilst everyone else is falling vertically smashing their heads off metal poles, falling into the ice cold ocean :D:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,109 ✭✭✭ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV


    something tells me you will be good at the comparison .. lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 307 ✭✭Idgeitman


    Ive had "Mr. Tambourine man" and "Like a rolling stone" on repeat all morning, waiting to break out some Jefferson Airplane. Parents on holidays thankfully, no pressure in this house...

    :D

    im used to getting little or no sleep, ive had nearly 2 weeks of sleep ins and relaxing, i havn't had that amount of time off in over 2 years :D so my batteries are fully recharged.

    it's not that i dont want to go to sleep early, i just can't. i never go to sleep before 1 anyway. with the heat and all, so much to think about, i doubt i'll be able to go to sleep easily so i'll just flick on the laptop and start scanning through notes.

    it's not pretty, it's not advised, but it works for me and it's my way of doing things.
