    heya everyone. I'm repeating next year and ive decided to drop french and english and take up a new subject or possibly two. I'm really considering applied maths because its usefull for the course I want but I'm not sure about the second. I was told to do geography but to be honest I hated it at junior cert level, I'm considering economics. Anyone have any advice????

    I would say take Business, very do-able for repeaties who are willing to work to get a high grade. Don't know much about Applied Maths, if your into to it, that's good cause it has really high A grade level

    physics
    if u r going to do applied maths then u'd better do physics.
    app maths is a combination of higher level maths and physics.
    if u choose to study physics, app maths is a joke 4 u.

    It's the other way around, if you do applied maths, physics is way easier.

    The maths in Physics is easy in general.

    Doing Applied Maths is *almost* a guarantee that you'll get 100% in minimum one question in Physics(Mechanics - Q6).

    Funnily enough, this year's Mechanics question was on SHM, which I hadn't studied in either App Maths or Physics, and I wasn't able to do it.

    But I still got my A1, so meh :p
