    Actuary and Finance

    UCD

    Yep

    Not too bad overall.

    Had a bit of a stressful time with paper 1 in maths, paper 2 was a doddle though

    Physics, Chemistry and Business all very easy

    No, I think I could get where I want to be with any number of degrees

    John Bull's Other Island wasn't it.

    Business and Management
    NUI Maynooth
    Extremely unimpressive and over-rated
    History (because it was almost exactly the same as last years paper, which no-one expected)
    Economics
    Not unless I got like sub-350 points
    ........Yeats?


  • Registered Users Posts: 266 ✭✭D. Coughlan


    Commerce

    UCC

    Its going to be very tight, it was 435 last year and i think i got between 420 and 450.

    Completely hyped up, I did not think i was doing the same exam sometimes,when i heard it being described as the hardest exam you will ever do. I found it to be my best year in school and actually miss the place. Just work through the year in a structured way and you will be fine. Do not listen to the media or those swoty stressed out girls desribing their "ordeal". The LC is not that bad, just enjoy it.

    Maths

    Business ( both of these choices are very particular to each person)

    Yes, I liked school

    So let me get this straight, in order to ignite this board again, you set out a list of boring questions. Yeah, good one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,469 ✭✭✭✭cson


    Wait a second boger account? Except he spelled the name backwards? A mark of evil genius if ever there was one. And secondly, how can you expect the board to be lively in the holidays? Most of us have to work you know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 482 ✭✭Steve01


    Law
    UCC
    I'm confident that I did. Though 485 points is pretty steep and it could rise this year
    Grand. Surprisingly
    Biology (section A only)
    Pass maths
    I wouldnt repeat if all the colleges in the world were flooded with piss and my school was situated in a tree


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,794 ✭✭✭JC 2K3


    Computer Science

    Trinity

    Easily

    Grand

    Probably Physics, though I messed up App Maths

    Chemistry

    No

    No idea.

    Neither, it works out cheaper in the end to fly to a Europeon festival, they're longer and there's no scumbags.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,564 ✭✭✭Naikon


    Computing/Computer Science/Computer Applications.

    DIT-Kevin street 1st/DCU 2nd

    Probably

    Tiring(sleep issues) and very overhyped.

    Probably Physics or Business(not overly hard in the case of Business, just disappointed with the exam considering a nice B2 in the mocks:mad:)

    History(OL), Maths(OL) was handy enough too.

    No ****ing way

    I couldent care less:)

    after this years ****** ,EP will probably be my next venue.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 428 ✭✭Selphie


    Law and French

    UCC

    I'm not sure. Hopefully, but I reckon it'll be close.

    Different than what I expected.

    History

    French

    Not in a million years

    Shaw

    I went to ****** this year.... It was muddy.... I'm not so sure I'll be repeating the experience!

    Yes they can. The college decides how many students they want in a course.
    It's generally always followed the pattern that if the number of places go down and demand remains relatively static, that the points will go up.
