Anyone else feel this way?

rhapsody!

I'm looking forward to it..

Yes that sounds abit unorthodox but come on. Nine months left of school?

I just like to think of it as just another school year with the usual exams at the end. Yes they're more important but so..?

I'm looking forward to it because in just over nine months I'm going to be FREEEE! It's just afew months... and it's all revision for me.

We got most of our course done last year, bar afew odd pieces but that's all. Like genetics in biology, etc etc..

I'm kind of half and half on this one. I don't know what I want to do after school and I'm pretty worried about one or two subjects, but in 9 months I'll be FREEEE

I'm not looking forward to this year at all and I'll be glad when it's over. Our school likes to set us at least 2.5 hours worth of homework and then tell us we need to do 3 hours of study every night on top of it.

They exaggerated during the Junior Cert so I'm guessing they're exaggerating now. :pac:

I suppose the thing is that there 'are' people who do that amount of work.

Listen properly in class, ask questions if you don't follow something, look over old exam papers and do every piece of homework as if it were an exam question.

There's no comparison between the JC and the LC - they are set and marked in entirely different ways.

I'm just finished and my advice would be to enjoy the year cause it goes really fast! We had the best laugh during our 6th year and we also had some of the worst times of our secondary school experience but just enjoy it!! Don't get stressed! If you work steadily you'll have no problems at all! Thats what I did and I got 505! Teachers try to scare you into studying for hours in september but you'll only burn yourself out! Its better that you do a chapter of a subject in detail in 1 hour and take a good long break rather than doing 4 hours and 5 or 6 chapters really fast especially at this time of the year!! And remember this is nearly the start of september! If you write out your own notes on a chapter its the best way of studying and just try learn them off! You've loads of time to do that! I only started that in Feb of 2008!!

AND MAKE SURE YOU DO ALL THE EXAM PAPERS IN EVERY SUBJECT YOURSELF! Don't wait for your teacher to do them with you cause if you do them yourself at home its a great way of studying and a great advantage as you'll be learning exam technique and what the examiner wants! You should download all the marking schemes which are great for subjects like biology and just copy out the answers cause when you go back to do them again later on you'll know them!!

I'm delighted that it's the last year but I'm dreading doing the LC.

I'm looking forward to it. Been told it's a really fun year. There's definitely going to be work but I expected that a long time ago.

I'm confused how people could find it a fun year. Anyone care to clarify this?:)

You want someone to explain how Irish teenagers in 2008 can possibly have fun...?

*background music -eminem-lose yourself
this is what your whole life has been leading up to since you started school :eek:

we hear we should be focused but look at it this way in 9 months you have the option of doing the same thing for the rest of your life (i.e no college)so enjoy it. fail it . just do it.

and hey you can always repeat:D

oh and you can have a fun year if you go out and have fun (ironic no?)

I personally found it to be the best year of my entire time in school, obviously not for the exam end of it, but the fun we had with the valedictory and all. The teachers weren't as strict either I found anyway.

9 months, just get the hell in and out and never have to worry about the damn thing again after. I've settled on a college now, so I'm less stressed about it than I was in 5th. :pac:

crunchycorner

I'm fairly nervous about it but I can't wait til its all over!!

9 months sounds long enough to get everything covered but i keep thinking its gonna fly past before i get anything done:(
