Teaching myself another subject

    Hi, I'm set to do the leaving cert in 2010 in five subjects after a few years absence and am wondering as the course doesn't offer a science subject, can I teach myself the subject outside of school and take the exam in June? Or does it only allow subjects thought in the particular course?

    I'm sure you can, I know several who did subjects outside school. Just make sure your school knows so they have you registered to take the exam.

    Although you might want to take grinds in the subject, as some parts of the course would be tough to do on your own. Also you're missing out on experiments, but Maynooth runs open days in January where they allow leaving cert students to do certain experiments off the course. So you should contact them and try and get into one of those days. You might want to do this as soon as possible as places are limited.
