Leaving cert is a bit like a lottery, so dont believe that 600 points will reflect your true ability in most cases.

It's more like aiming a sniper rifle with varying degrees of accuracy depending on the amount of study done.

Of course no one has a 100% steady hand and there's always the chance of slipping at the last minute.

Probably a solid ordinary engineering degree in one of the IT colleges.
Points don't reflect the quality of courses anyway.

kurisu

i think jam making is 20 points hmmm

maybe i should just do jam making for 20 points at UCD the use there horizons system to study commerce:D

For those who think appealing is a lost cause, I needed 475 last year and got 470, so I decided to appeal my English. Baddabing Baddaboom - got my 475 u
after the recheck. So it can work

It's 500. Which would probably be a huge dissapointment to you....I'd class 500 as eh, high.

JC 2K3

I know it's 500.

But when you look at it as 4 B1s and 2 B2s it doesn't really seem high at all....

Although, it's much harder to get those last 100 points than anything before.

ashyle

Oooo I'm aiming for 400... got 310 in the mocks (eep).

I want Arts in UCD. Want to do every language they have and do Erasmus in Italy

well we are in the section on the leaving cert...!! face it, the people on here are either the serious ones who are using every resource they can to get an edge on the rest of the country..or ones that are into computers or here for a laugh. so dont worry too much id say!! points are supposed to drop this year, because theres less people doing the exams!!

moi:
want-600
need-530
will get-we'll see in august i wouldnt want to jinx it!!:)

Arts, although common, is a pretty good degree. People just think they know it through the stigma attached to it; but it offers the holder quite a lot of opportunities. In your case, it seems you were one of those people that just got their understanding from said stigma...

I'm only doing arts if I don't get the course which I actually want. I'll just do arts and a masters in the course I actually want then.
