    Do you see where you're going wrong?

    You have to try to be believable when performing this art. It's not just a case of say whatever annoys people!

    I'm slightly disappointed with this troll; they usually do a far superior job.

    Maybe he didn't do art because he's not at all creative? :D

    Amusingly, 3 of those subjects are regarded as relatively easy A's and are frequently picked up by repeat students.

    Since you're so very judgemental, let me be.

    Geography and Business, unarguable considered two of the easiest Leaving Cert. subjects.

    History and Classics, yes, they'd be harder.

    But, don't you see that passing remarks about how easy you percieve subjects to be is pointless? Because someone can say right back that Geography and Business are considered pretty easy.

    The point I'm trying to make, and always have been trying to make, is that the difficulty of a subject is highly subjective. I'd put art in the same boat as history, and indeed english. It isn't an easy subject, because not one single subject on the LC is easy. Why? Because everyones different. I personally find app. maths, maths and physics to be very easy. Does that mean they are? No. Does that give other people the right to complain about how easy I percieve them to be? No.

    The moral of my story is that difficulty is subjective; it's subjective because everyone is different.

    Oh, so it's a choice? You can spell, you just choose not to?

    I would've thought, given your superior attitude, that you would be eager to show off your proficiency in a real subject.

    Art's not a fake, mythical subject. It's just as real as your abc's and 123's.

    I studied music and think it's fair to say that some elements of the exam are objectively easy.

    For example, the technology practical (25%) requires little more than basic computer fluency.

    There's also a little more room for 'winging it' compared to lets say, higher level maths, as much of the listening section is multiple choice.
    Also, if your higher elective isn't performance, the required standard for the performance practical is quite low and I've seen people with a modest singing ability do alright.

    However there's also difficult elements to this subject and I think some musical aptitude is definitely required for a decent mark.

    Any thoughts?

    Also has the lowest A1-rate of all higher-level subjects, by a long shot, so hardly the place to go hunting for the top points.

    Stats here: http://www.examinations.ie/statistics/statistics_2008/nat_stats_2008n.pdf

    Applied Maths has the highest rate of A1s (I think) but it's not easy so I don't think that is a good way of judging how easy or hard a subject is.

    any1 else think its outlandish the way some people pick art which is much easier than other subjects yet get the same points as someone who does a real subject?
    Begging your pardon! :pac:

    Arts a bitch. Requires creativity, interpretation, and patience. Theres a lot of work that goes into the project portion and a lot of study that goes into the art appreciation portion. Trying to speak intelligently about Monet and Newgrange for 10 pages? Fughettaboutit. Its can be a bit of a pain. And gross quantities of time as I said goes into the project: 5 hours plus 50 hours of preperation (well, ok, more like 15.)

    If you want to talk about outlandish, mythical subjects: Business Studies. I mean wtf. Im glad I took Economics in 6th year - so much more worthwhile.

    I would be more concerned with people taking subjects like 'Agricultural Science' to get into courses like Medicine or Dentistry, :eek: If I had known about it when I was doing the leaving, I would have probably taken it though to get into Architecture, lol :D

    i'd be more concerned with people taking a load of non science subjects (business, geography etc) to get the points to get into dentistry and medicine tbh
