    how many points do u need?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 124 ✭✭BertrandMeyer


    I've got lots of history done.
    Stuck on English poetry though - I don't know how I'm going to learn all that. :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,362 ✭✭✭K4t


    Cant't start history revision - just too much. Freaking out slightly.

    English Poetry - still have to do Longley and Montague.

    Economics - Sound.

    Business - Sound.

    Maths - Sound enough. Ordinary level is piss if you do some work I have realised.

    French - Sound. Love it.

    Irish - F**k off.

    Did a good bit for the second week of Easter but still a lot to do. Going to push myself really hard for the next three weeks so it doesn't pile up for the last three. Library every day after school one hopes.

    Maths - I've been doing grinds throughout the year it seems like it'll be fine .Sure itcan;t be harder than that mock paper :P
    English-Haven't studied anything formally yet but I did a few essays of easter ,just need to learn quotes etc.
    Physics-Virtually the only thing i've been paying attention to ,I just need to go over electricity and particle physics sorted.
    French-I've just been doing reaction questions lately but more work need .Quel Dommage .
    Irish-I'm doing lower level and I'm sure I'll get a B1 atleast -no work done and little is to be done.
    Classics-I did fairly intensive grinds in the institute during easter,and i've been doing exam questions also .I do not know the aneid at all though .So I dunno :S
    Geography-Weird subject ,I don't know what to expect and I've done no study for it yet .

    I got 420 in the mocks ,I just another 80
    I'm taking this whole thing very relaxed

    :D isn't 420 6 honours? brains to burn i'd say;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,150 ✭✭✭LivingDeadGirl


    I need 460+, got 480 in the mocks with just cramming(in fairness though, everyone had a good enough idea what was coming up in a lot of things, last minute handouts are a dead giveaway!!).

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 609 ✭✭✭GA361


    Throughout the year I kept on sayin' that I'd start seriously next week. . . . But I never really got 100% into it.Still,I got a fair bit done in the past few weeks
    So far,it's

    Chem:Chaps 1-13 done in Chem Live

    Hist: Political sections done Ireland 1870-1914 and 1912-1949.Fair idea of dictatorsip +Democracy.

    Maths:I have an all-right grasp of the exam-papers. . . At this point I reckon I could pull a B3,but I'll want to pull that up to a B1 for the real thing.

    Irish:Just keepin' the pros and poems tickin' over. . . Haven't even looked at SnaG yet.

    Italian:Bibety-Boopy!

    Music:Sure don't i have half of the exam done.Revising set works at the mo.

    Eng:Must start soon


  • Registered Users Posts: 168 ✭✭php-fox


    God, this brings back bad memories. Did my leaving 2 year ago. Got 490 points. Very glad it's over.
    Work hard guys, it'll pay back well.

    Good luck!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,418 ✭✭✭regob


    did it two years as well, once ya start the first exam it will fly in, dont worry guys youll all be fine, got 585 btw

    I need about 430 and I got 465 in the mocks so things are okay.

    Maths - Bit of a problem at the moment, and I need a C3. Been doing grinds.
    English - Haven't started studying yet but I'm fairly strong here, got an A in mocks.
    Irish - Going okay, haven't started studying yet but I'm optimistic enough. Doing honours and got a C in mock.
    French - Same as Irish really, just plodding along, C would be okay.
    Physics - I've been working hard at this, I underperformed at the mocks but I'm feeling a bit better about it after these 2 weeks.
    Business - Grand, not planning on studying anymore.
    Economics - Grand, not planning on studying anymore.

    All in all I'm happy enough. I'm doing all honours so 430 is a handy enough target. Need to work at the Maths a bit more to improve on my abysmal mock result.

    Hey.. here's the story with me: I haven't a clue what I want to do in college next year and I CANNOT study until the last minute, like about 2 or 3 wks before exam. Did good for JC (5A's 5B's) but the LC is a completely different ball game. DID NOTHING OVER EASTER

    You won't be doing ANYTHING if you don't STUDY :pac:

    I'm in the same boat as you. Just make yourself study. Pick something you enjoy and get stuck into it. Don't stop doing exam questions until you drop. Aight. :)
