    Heres where I'm at. The mocks are a month away (maybe less) and I have done zero study. I did feck all in 5th year as well. So, basically I have two years of courses to learn in 6 months. I do honours geography, German, English, history and DCG and pass maths and Irish.
    CAN IT BE DONE?

    Of course it can. You just have to be willing to put in the time at night and on the weekends. Doing so, and you should be fine.

    Get yourself into a habit of studying. If you find yourself being too distracted at home, eighter remove the temptations or go off to a library. Make yourself stay until a certain time and that you absolutely will not leave until then so you might as well study.
    The trick is to find a healthy balance of study and past-times, so that your doing the work you need but aren't burning yourself out.

    Just think, in 6 months it will all be over. You don't want to be looking back on these next few months thinking "if only i had studied then". Trust me, its an awful feeling!

    I'd say everybody is on the same about at this stage. I'd say if you sacrificed your weekends you should be fine for the mocks. But as for the LC, you should be fine if you just keep it consistent.

    Just do out a timetable, etc... and stick to it and put your heas to it.

    As a Leaving Certer from last year, I'd definitely not encourage this, at least one day a week where you do not open a school book after school (mine used to be a Friday).

    Really get your head down into the irish, the other three I don't do so can't help you there but just revise the english - use spider diagrams, they're excellent help, learn off odd quotes and build up points around them, if you can get the movies of anything they're great for learning quotes but make sure you get a decent copy of the film. For instance, if you're doing King Lear try get your hands on the Ian McKellen version, it's quite good. Maths will need alot of attention because maths is Difficult unless you're good at it.

    Just a little bit of study will help but take one day off a week, don't push yourself too hard - remember it's only the Mocks, not the real thing. 156 days to go yet!
