    God no, but I know I'm safe points wise. If I REALLY wanted to do a specific course and didn't make the points I'd consider it, but there are back doors into everything.

    Well, I just repeated Irish yesterday & today, 11 years after 1st sitting it.

    Was stuck in a tiny classroom yesterday for the aural, squashed in like sardines along with all you regular guys!

    I felt like such a dinosaur!

    I would never have repeated the whole LC, as like returned the following year to sit it all over again.

    & I never want to relive this experience either. Of all exams to be repeating!!!!!! :eek:

    I repeated this year. Was grand. It's only one year out of your life and if you really want something it won't hurt. Then again, I did way less work than I should have.

    I am repeating...I said last year I would NEVER repeat but didn't have much choice at the end of the day. I wouldn't do it again next year. God no. But if I was doing the LC for my first time again, I would say Yes. It has definitely been one of the best things I have had to do in my 18 and 11/12ths of my life!

    Speaking from experience i would recommend to anyone to repeat the leaving if they are not happy with their results. It's only a year, you could quite possibly waste a few years in college doing a course you didn't want to begin with, and the more points you have the more options you have. I didn't repeat it but if i had the chance again i would because i feel i could have done better. Also it's not as torturous second time round...i'd say!

    If you had of asked me on June 3rd it would have been a flat "yes if I had to" but now that I've done it, I'm not so sure. As same of the other posts said, its only one year out of your life do to what you want for the rest of your life so I probably would.

    I wouldn't mind, but I'd prefer not to. I'd be a bit old methinks, and I did TY so a change is probs a good idea at this stage ;) I don't think the LC's been all that bad, tbh, but it's a lot of stress to put yourself under again. If it's for something you really want, I don't see why you wouldn't.

    Im repeating it at the minute and its not actually that bad...I always said i wouldnt becuase ive already done TY so most my friends were a year ahead.But if you really want a course its worth repeating. The year flew by and i felt i was a lot more focused this year.

    Hah my guidance councillor asked me the same.. Went sorta like this
    GC: So would you be prepared to repeat?
    Me: No
    GC: But just imagine you didn't get your points?
    Me: Didn't get 280 points?
    GC: Just imagine! Would you repeat?
    Me: No
    GC: Why?
    Me: Because there's no way I wouldn't get 280 points
    GC (getting annoyed): But what if you did?
    Me: But I won't.
    GC: But if you did!!!??
    Me: I still wouldn't. I'd kill my self from the pure mortifying shame of being one of the smartest people in the year and not scraping 280points.
    GC: (sighs)

    No way!

    IF I didn't get the C3 I need in maths I would take a year out / work and just do maths in my spare time / get some grinds etc and repeat maths the following year...

    If I got like the flesh eating virus and had to miss most of the exams I probably would, but I voted no on the premise that it's more likely that I'll just do bad, and if so I wouldn't mind doing something other than my chosen course, just wanna get out of school!!
