Repeating the leaving cert

JDizzle

Just wondering could anyone give us a bit of advice on something that's been troubling. My situation is:

I did the leaving cert this year and got 440 points and so was fairly damn happy with my results. During the year I hadn't really much of a clue what I wanted to do and so intended on doing an arts degree. I had put down primary teaching as my number 1, and at the time would have liked to have got it but to be 100% honest wasn't really pushed one way or the other as arts sounded like a course that I would enjoy. And so when I didn't get it I was quite happy to go off to UCD to do english and history. However, since even the first week I've felt that it isn't the course for me and that I'd love to be doing primary teaching. The points for primary teaching were 450 this year, and I'm very confident had I repeated I would get that many points. My brother repeated and he went up by 70 points, and he said that I should definately do it. I was just wondering would it be sensible to go back and repeat at this late stage? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Well you'd have to catch up on English but repeats are left to do that by themselves in their own time anyway so i can't see why not...and if ya do history, the documents book is different to last year. I think that's it...
