    Far easier, although I think that may just be this new-fangled "study" thing i discovered..

    Oh and the not having to do languages bit..

    Found it very tough up till christmas! after that is was kinda the same as last yr th way time flew!
    Found english easier cause I actually put effort in, took up construction , dropped irish and the rest were ok!

    I found English harder because it was a new course! And I got a B1 Honours the previous year.But yes overall the year was far easier

    i found this years leaving cert to be much harder than last years

    i got 515 last year, i think ill be getting something like it again this year

    even though i did a massive amount of studying the whole year

    it was difficult going back but I have to admit that I found some of the work this year to be easier simply because this year I did my work and actaully listened to the teachers...
    I did find the actual leaving certificate exams to be much harder this year but fortunatley everything I studied had come up
    I did waaaaaaay more work this year but somehow can see myself getting in around or even less than what I got last year...

    I thought the exam papers were tougher than last years, but I was much better prepared for them this time round.

    It's good to hear that you all are getting on ok. Remember, if a paper was tougher than last year remember that the marking scheme will be more lenient - there has to be the same proportions of each grade every year.

    Found it easier this year because I switched to a school that had a specific repeat class. There was about 40 of us altogether and we had our own classes for english, irish and maths which was really handy. Hopin for a big improvement on points this year :)

    I think i improved in everything rele. droped all languages so that was handy. took up ag but thought business was a tough paper. maths was much easier. and i think its the same with every repeat cos we know what wer in for at start of year and it doesnt take as long to get into it??:rolleyes:

    I thought this years was way harder than last years..exept for history. Maybe I really just didn't care enough last year!:D
    The great thing about repeating for me is that it gave me a year to grow up and think about what I really want to do!
