    Fair enough, but then maybe you shouldn't be saying that others don't need to do much study. After all, if it was just a matter of paying attention and doing your homework, everyone would be getting top marks in the leaving. Now you may be one of the lucky ones who doesn't need to study much, but unfortunately most of us have to put the extra work in.

    I've moved up to the 1-4 hour category. 2 hours of French yesterday evening (had a mock oral today so prepared some of that stuff.) Got a strange kick out of it. So I'm hoping to get loads of Irish done this weekend and hopefully some chemistry and physics. :)

    I've been luckier this week, teachers have eased off on the homework so i've had more time to study. There's a good bit to do but i'm getting there slowly!

    I find it easier to study for some subjects more than others. Like.. Studying Geography is grand but then I cannot bring myself to do Irish or French.. and I need to do well in Irish.. which will take alot of work! I just cant study it!!

    I'm the same; no problem learning chemistry and biology, but when it comes to subjects like English I don't even know where to start...

    Be honest
    And don't turn this thread into:
    "I do more/less study than you I'm class, your stupid" <---- That stuff

    0-1.... and maybe half an hour before a test or whatever cos i hate studying. FUN FACT : "studying" is derived from the word "students dying" Just thought ye should know that !!! :D

    Yep sure.

    Honestly, I didn't do a tap last year (that's why I'm repeating; if I had tried last year I wouldn't have repeated. I'd have viewed it as a pointless exercise as my intention this year was to give the Leaving Cert my all) and I came out with 465. IDK,it's weird. I'm hoping to increase that by 100 or so by starting to study now.

    I think for some people it is easy to get to a certain level with the minimum of effort but beyond that it takes a lot more effort,if that makes sense.

    My plan is: an hour of study on average every weeknight and four hours per Saturday and Sunday. Now there's a realistic plan if ever I had one. :)

    Over the past three days I've done 14+ hours, but I think that's up to panic in realising how close the mocks are. I probably haven't done 14 hours in the three months before Christmas. :S

    At least you realised Bhoy, I'm aiming for 520 points and I haven't really done any major study yet. I only did 2 hours of study in the last week. (Partly because I did at least 10 hours of written homework in the past week <__<).

    All our teachers are piling on the h/w this week :cool:. And the way our school works makes it really difficult to get in extra study time. I have to ask - does any other school do a later study i.e 5.45-8.10 p.m? That's our study time and it's amazing how little you get done in it as far as revision goes.

    I came home early tonight though - skipped the study- and did about an hour of just revision, the other hour of homework. I'm trying to pick it up but I find it hard to sit down and actually do it tbh =/.

    Our school has 4:20 - 6:00 and 7:00 - 10:00, gonna be doing both after Easter. I stand no chance of getting Law anymore, max I can get is 520, need to get A1's in English, Biology, Home Ec and Economics, and get a A1 in Maths and do really well in German, which I picked up last year, funny though, I've done German for 1 year and 4 months, and i'm way better at that than I am at Irish, which has been for the vast majority of my life.

    Yeah I agree, I can learn a lot better on my own than having to sit in school and not paying attention. I defnitely learned more from my two hours of study last night than my five hours of written homework.
