    If you dont go into your Irish exam,I know you fail the subjet but do you fail the leaving cert for not attending?

    None of the corses I want require it so Im not bothered stressing myself out for it.Its a joke of subject.When the teachers are 90 years old and cant understand how to open a classroom door nevermind teach.

    Unless you have an exemption from the department, if you don't sit Irish or fail it, you've failed your whole leaving cert. Unfair but hey - that's life!

    Sorry for my delay in reply but it took me a couple of minutes to decipher your message... There's no need to bring my family into this... You have no clue what my situation is. That was just uncalled for!

    We were told by someone from the exams commission that if we fail/fail to attend either english, irish or maths that we have effectively failed our whole leaving cert.
    Of course "failing your leaving cert" is only a terminolgy .. and as somebody said above it basically means that you have little/ no hope of getting into college.
    Even if Irish/English/Maths are not course requirements you will still be affected... However I do know that you can do Arts even if you fail maths...
    My friend failed maths last yr and is currently doing Arts in UCC

    Fair enough, I'll butt out, but remember this. Winning a fight online is like winning a Gold medal in the special olympics. You might get the gold..but your still retarded.
