    It depends what you're repeating for. As far as I know:

    (a) If you're repeating because you didn't meet the grade requirement for one (or more) of your subjects, then you can repeat them by the themselves. e.g. if you needed a pass in maths, you could repeat maths on it own and you could use that with your results form last year.

    (b) If you're repeating because you didn't get enough points, I believe you have to sit all the subjects in one year to count the points for them all i.e. you can't count points from subjects which you did from different years.

    Sorry it's not clear, I'm not explaining it well...:(

    Basically:

    If you need the subjects for points, they have to be in one go. If it's just 1 or 2 to get a miminum requirement (a pass in Maths or Irish for example), then you can do them next year and still use your points from this year

    What penguin says is accurate.

    Why would you want to repeat 3 or 4 subjects on your own in one year and the other 2/3 the following year? Why don't you just go to school and do all 6/7 in the one year? You don't want to spend 2 more years doing the Leaving Cert do you?
