Ah you surely didn't need 4 evenings to study for it :eek:
I have a test on the first 3 chapters coming up soon aswell. There really are so many simple things you forget about biology, it's a nuisance. It seems fine and i'm like yeah i know it, then your asked "What's an improperly folded protein called?" "err... em. err it begins with P?"

Some schools would move faster because of TY, we're on the end of chapter 3 because we have a basis of it done in TY. Accounting looks vicious imo, the book is huge and the teacher in my school told the class I'll know if you're smart enough to do it by the end of the next two weeks and if you're not you can just leave.:eek: Thank God I don't do it!
I think out of all three sciences I like biology the least though, there are too many definitions and a lot of boring stuff like plants, food and ecology. Its a shame there is no separate subject like you can do just plants and stuff and then another subject where its purely human biology. That would be amazing.0 -
I didn't, I'd just much prefer to spend half an hour on it each evening than spend 2 hours on it on tomorrowcoffeelover wrote: »Ye are both are both lucky that ye know what ye want to do when ye leave school so ye know what points ye need..

Ya well we skipped food and are doing ecology because our lab is being done up. Ya I was looking at the accounting book and it looks scary but they have an AMAZING teacher. Omg I would absolutly love a subject based on human biology because I HATE plants and ecology. That would be sooo cool

Ya thats true. It's better to do a bit each evening. Haha no I doubt it will take that long. But then again if you are as slow as me for studing then it might :rolleyes:0 -

I did very little work for anything other than maths for JC so its the only one I know how to study hard for. I think for most of mys subjects I myself intend on being done everything my Christmas of 6th year, even if that means working ahead of the teacher and then I can start revising. How do you know when you're studying hard though? :S I don't even know how to study subjects like Chem, Biology or Irish.
Biology is justing kind of learning off, writing good notes and reading over them regularly.
Irish is more difficult; you have to try build up your vocabulary and practice speaking irish whenever possible; also RnaG and TG4 are some help. Obviously you need to know your poetry and prose notes too, but with 50% for oral and aural, the emphasis in 5th year should be on that.
Chemistry is more difficult again; you have to understand it before you can study it, and for that you need a good teacher or grinds.coffeelover wrote: »Ye are both are both lucky that ye know what ye want to do when ye leave school so ye know what points ye need..

I dont really know what i want, but i'm thinking pharmacy or physiotherapy at the moment, and they're quite high, so 565 should cover everything for me!!!
I aim to get it like this:
Irish: B1
English: A2
Biology: A1
Ag. Science: A1
Chemistry:A1
French: A2
Maths:C1 (won't be counted)
but i think i may be aiming too high!!!0 -

I'm not really sure either. Thinking of secondary school teaching music and maybe business. Don't think I have the confidence to become a teacher though.. I'd love to travel and teach in other countries in particular the USA.. Awh France would be soo cool but would you have to do everything through french.. I know the amount of points some people are after are unbelievable :eek: 0 -

I wanted to do teaching too but heard it can be really hard to get a job even after you've finished!:(
No idea what I wanna do now, probably business, IT/Computer engineering or mechanical engineering.
France? What are the requirements like for colleges over there?0 -

Ya thats the only thing about teaching. I'd say it would be very hard to get a job. I was thinking of business too but I think it would be hard to get a job in that too 0 -

And yeah, but I wanna live in France!
I have no idea tbh, I wanna go to uni here and then move there. I know what you mean about job prospects, but look, we've 2 years in school, 3 in uni (4 for me, cuz i'll doing arts international if i do teaching) and then a 1 year h dip. I'm sure the recession'll be almost over by thenI wanted to do teaching too but heard it can be really hard to get a job even after you've finished!:(
