Just noticed the timetable for 2008 hasn't reared its ugly face here. So i thought I'd post it. I've only included the normal Leaving Cert part, so sorry for all you leaving cert applied people.

sickener. yeah I'll have to wait for music too... I will have 4 empty days before it,it's so stupid what am i gonna do to study for it like!
In fact , question : how the hell do you study music? I have never studied it in my life and tried to this afternoon and it was a big shambolic failure..

they should really change agr science and Applied maths from being on at the same time,it happens every year people have to stay around till seven o clock

Sure don't study, just do wat i do and wing it on the day, sure the only thing you really have to know is your essay (and it's easy enough to wing that like) and set works are a piece of Piss!!

PurpleFistMixer

Just listen to music to study it. : p Easy. Look over notes on your set works if you've got them. I suspect I'll be too busy cramming Applied Maths to worry much about Music at that point.

Jen Pigs Fly

I never went to music class, so I've no notes (damn going on the hop all the time haha) But I got like 78% in the halloween exams by winging it ... sure we'll all see when the results come out haha!!

i dont get why ppl have to hang around till 7pm just cause ag science and applies math r on @ d same time??!

PurpleFistMixer

If you're doing two subjects which are on at the same time, you have to do them back to back and you're not allowed leave, so you have to stay in later to do the second one after the first.

annie19

that sounds awful! its not very fair either! I wonder does it happen much? I mean unless your a bionic it gives one an disadvantage cause it has to affect ones grade! wat da ya think?

PurpleFistMixer

I imagine you get a break, but yeah, it's quite unfair. I think considering it's the very last day of exams, they shouldn't have any exams running concurrently, to eliminate the possibility of it happening. It's likely, however, that they chose the subjects specifically because so few people do both of them.

annie19

ya ur right, less than 3000 do ag science and im sure theres a low figure for applied math!

annie19

you do appled math?!! Whats it like? I mean compared to normal math that the rest of us are used to (r maybe not so used 2!!)

PurpleFistMixer

I actually know a fair number of people who do/did applied maths, but maybe I've just got nerdy friends.
It's like a combination of maths and physics. I think people tend to assume it's just harder maths, but it's different, it is, surprising and all, maths applied to the real world. You know, projectiles, speed, distance, gravity, friction and forces and all that stuff.

i do applies maths. im good at maths, so applied maths is easy for me. you know when your in maths class doing differentiation or intergration and you ask yourself "when am i ever going to use this?". in applied maths you basically use everything you did in maths over the years to work out, for example, where a ball will land if you shot it into the air at 5 m/s at an angle of 30degrees. its great and alot more fun that maths.

See my music teacher is such a pathetic joke,that you are doing yourself a favour by not going to class. She covered the "wrong" stuff with us for traditional music , but being the bright wee spark she is, she only realises this the day we got our mid-term holerrrdays. And this was only becasue i put up my hand and said, sorry what are you talking about we never covered seanos ..and to think I wasted my time in 5th year writing essays about the harping tradition thanks to the fool...
but yes, the set works are a piece of "piss" , and you really can get away with a B from doing sweet feck. hurrah!

I never knew you could do this. Was this arramgement always around? because a few years back agricultural science and biology were timetabled the same time and my friend who was picking subjects at the time ( back in ty) for the lc wasnt allowed do both.

Do you get any break at all between the exams??
