    Supervised study helps a lot. You can't not work when you're there. Brilliant.

    Do more ordinary level subjects. Be more realistic if you desire in doing well at all.

    i done my leaving cert about 3 years ago and all i will say is exam papers, exam papers exam papers!!!!

    i basically read through the notes a few times to get familiar with them and then started on answering the exam papers... because i read through the notes a few times i kinda knew where everything was in the notes so it kinda sped up the process.

    the leaving cert is grand once you actually make a effort. i 2 couldnt motivate myself to study but one day when i was working in my part time job it kinda hit me, i could end up in a dead end job like it for the rest of my life... you have the chance to get a great standard of living and more importantly go to college!!!

    college is the best!!!!! i dont wanna leave at all, i have made some great friends there and it has been a blast from day one. also u have the opportunity, as an irish student to do a j1 work visa, i myself went to san diego california for 3 months and spent a week in vegas and drove on route 66 etc etc im only 20 but i have gotten so much from college already. its well worth putting in the effort...


    all this is open to you if you just put in a little work. the hardest part is starting but once you have its easy to keep going :) i ended getting over 100 points more than what i needed and was very happy.

    so again, just keep reading over them and also be organised. thats the key, our minds love structure so just organise your day with what your going to do.
