What's the deal, do have to repeat the entire leaving cert if you didn't get the points you wanted (and I mean like 100 points away from the course you wanted), like an entire six subjects??

Mr.Helpful

Not a hope in hell I would repeat, I only want to do 6th year once! Thank you very much.

Now where are the matches so I can burn my school tie *looks around*

Well I just got my results there and I am not happy by any means.I have nothing I want to do on my cao, and the only reason i put them down was if I did really bad.....and I did.


I'm still not sure weather to repeat or not, is it worth it and will the points rise 2nd time around??I will be 19 doing my lc and 20 when getting results.Would I be better applying for an apprenticeship or a PLC course, or to just go put my head down for a year and get the result I want.

At the end of the day Journalism is the course I want to do.Apart from the institute, where offers a good standard of teaching???

I would be very grateful for some feedback

Repeating's not so bad!
Who cares if you're a little older?

1 extra year in school or a life settling for something you don't want?

Judging by your name, I'm guessing you're from Tipp. Not too far from Waterford city.
If you're looking for a grind school, Yeats' College there is meant to be very good. I didn't go there, but I know people who came out of it very well.

The thing that annoys me is that all my mates are off to college together and Im stuck in this sh!thole..........

Ah well my own fault, lookin forward to gettin good results. Hopefully the year will fly by!

The year will fly by.

But seeing all your friends going off to college is a bit of a balls. It means you get to visit them though! And meet loads of new people.

Im thinking of repeating this year, was considering plunkets college. was wondering if that is a good school for repeats, and was woundering if there are any other good schools to do repeating in! i live in dublin so if you know anything bout plunketts college the feedback would greatly appreciated

Marion College FTWFR (For The Win For Repeats)

oh and I am in btw NBB Bohs

drop-dead-legs

as far as i heard, we're in separate classes to the rest of the year, so like for honours irish there's only a class of 7-8 or something, and then for certain classes we're with sixth years, economics for me is with sixth years, but the rest is all just repeat classes

My friend is repeating and is wondering if you have to repeat maths, anyone have any idea?

If he passed then he doesn't have to repeat it, same with all of the core subjects, or any specific subject needed for a course actually(french for example).

Seriosely, somebody must be going the Insititute other than me

kittycat91

Anyone here gonna repeat in the Institute?

Oh god i wouldn't advise repeating in the institute unless you can stay away from the temptation of the city centre lol!I was there for 5th year 6th year and 6th year again and i would never go back.Wish i never went. I was so good in my old school and worked hard and when I went there it all went wrong. They come across as being really strict on classes and stuff but it is the easy place to skip class and even the whole day!!! And trust me you will skip class in there as stephens green is right beside you. I am 20 now and have just done a year of college and I am going back to repeat the leaving again but not there ha!! And in my honest opinion the teachers are not all they are cracked up to be. I could have got better points in my old school. The results are only so good because there are 1000 people in 6th year!!

The PLC course I had as my plan B has a very long waiting list, so it looks like I'll be repeating after all. Heading back to my old school as my parents can't really afford to sent me any where else.

My brother looked into repeating there and it was his old secondary school. Decent school, they're trying to make up the numbers to actually have a repeat class atm (Not many people seem to know they offer repeats) so I'd say you'd have no problems getting in anyway!

irishgirl09

Should we start a thread for those going (or hoping to) this september? A place to discuss worries/ask questions to the experienced etc regarding teachers and that? ....just an idea...:pac:

leesmom
