leesmom

hey all,
congrats to you all on the results btw,seems like most of you have done pretty well.

i'm repeating my leaving this year,i first did it two years ago ,didnt know what i wanted to do at the time and i didnt really care either but anyway i've decided to repeat beacuse i want to do midwifery.
my question is what is on the syllabus for english,irish,and german?i know for sure that the english texts and poetry are all different from 2006,well except for elizabeth bishop on the poetry section.
if anyone could help it would be great,need to know what im letting myself in for:o

thanks guys/girls;)
yep pathway ,explained it grand,except i'll click my subjects instead of lick them thanks:D:D
my god i got a lot of learnin to cram in this year!!

no prob......curious to know why you would do pass irish when you're repeating. you know that even though your points have to come from one sitting, your matriculation requirements can come from combined sittings. of course if you failed irish then you probably have to do it but just saying in case you didn't know. or maybe you intend getting an A1 in pass and a sweet 60 points

and it is a good idea to lick your books. information goes in quicker :P

i got a B2 last time in ordinary irish,i dont have a clue what matriculation means????????:eek:
would love to think i could get an A1 in irish but the aural lets me down and the oral,not really any way to guarantee an A1 there for me cause im crap at irish,i can do the learning no problem and write it all down but apart from that i dont know!! :rolleyes:

matriculation means the minimum requirements you have to satisfy for your course. For level 8 honours degrees its usually 2HC3s and 4OD3. Trinity is 3HC3. For level 7 Ordinary degree and level 6 higher certificate its 5OD3.

points only come into play because demand for places outstrips supply. if you type your course into www.qualifax.ie it will tell you what you need. Better still go to the college website.

You are doing more than 2 honours subjects aren't you?

leesmom

ummm no ,well i was looking for my 6th year notes there last night,so far have only found my biology ones,so was thinking of just doing biology!!:Dprobably still wouldnt get an A1:eek:

so if you get say

German Honours A1
English Honours A1
Biology Honours A2
Irish Pass A1

Thats 350 points. Is that enough for your course?

leesmom

nope,i need at least 410 for trinity or ucd,dundalk do the course aswell and its 340 points but i want to stay in dublin:rolleyes:
looks like im going to have my books permanently attatched to me from september to may instead of being proud of myself that i actually made it to school that day and awarding myself with evernight off homework(and every weekend):rolleyes:
i am very determined this time though:)
