Does anyone wanna scan that Project Maths Supplement that was in the Times? I missed it

As illegal as that sounds, I second it! My family don't buy the paper so I miss out on all of these fancy supplements!

Lads, I've a very quick and stupid question

My name happens to have a fada in it, which I included in my CAO application. When we got our exam numbers though, and had to check over the details being sent to the SEC with the list of subjects etc. the teacher said it'd be okay to leave it out, which I did. So basically my name without the fada is what was down on the sheet.

Was just wondering, the missing fada won't cause any complications later will it? The date of birth and everything else is the same, but I can't help but feel slightly paranoid xD

You're safe with your examination number and CAO number, don't worry if your name hasn't a fada in it I'm sure other people have the same issue as you. Just make sure your DOB is correct and address of school and your gaff

Haven't a clue for economics but exam essentials for bio, however my advice would be no revision book and make your own notes from the book.

To be honest I wouldn't bother with revision books for economics.

If I were you:

- I draw out mind maps for market structures, elasticitity etc..
- Download marking schemes for exam papers on examinations.ie
- Do exam papers with marking schemes
- Rinse and repeat (use the mindmaps to help jog your memory a couple of weeks before an exam)

It varies from subject to subject.

Are you Russian?

Mr. Rager

Anyone know any other language course in the country apart from International Languages UCD, Applied Languages UL and DCU? Anyone know if there's a difference between them, or if one is better than the other?

There's European Studies in Trinity if that counts? You do two European languages as a part of that. My highest option would be International Languages in UCD but that's more to do with the university itself more than anything.

I wonder would Euro Studies give you the same sort of job prospects though. Is it essentially the same degree as the others?

To be honest I don't know, I'd say so, but that's only a pure guess

For those of you interested in Part 2 of my maths paper saga, ye'll be glad to know that for the most part Paper 2 was a major success. I'm fairly confident that I've dragged my grade out of the gutter.

Colm!

And I've found confirmation that I'm definitely not doing the same papers because I hated my paper two.

Oh God.. Paper 2 is my worst.. We haven't done much from it but still it's my worst! Hopefully paper 1 tomorrow will be ok.
On another note I have absolutely no idea how chemistry went

Eurovisionmad

I've a feeling that I'll be doing the same pre as Colm! our maths teacher keeps telling us that Paper 1 will be grand! It'll look terrible! But if you could understand the English it's simple!

She has intentionally not mentioned Paper 2, which is not a good sign!


Did English Paper 1 today, 'twas grand, don't really care about English either way! And also did DCG, I was preparing so much for the tough questions of one section that when a really easy version of it came up I couldn't handle it at all, furious with myself! Having said that I had time to do another question also, but that wasn't plain sailing either so I suppose he'll use which ever is highest in my final mark!

Slow Show

Only have English Paper 1 over with, don't really know how it went tbh, my comprehension and QB were alright but my essay, I dunno, I'm really horrible to myself after exams but it was definitely lacking. Hate how I have such a wide vocabulary but I'm terrible at utilising it. Didn't get time to look back over my work either which is very helpful (while slightly torturous) for English but I didn't get the full 2hrs50 either so hopefully I'll do a bit better in June. We'll see. One paper down, nine to go.

Probably for the best.

Monsieur Folie

So I have Maths Paper 2 and English Paper 1 done and dusted. Hopefully got in or around 80% in each but it remains to be seen as to how well in the other two halves of those subjects! :P

Chemistry and Irish Paper 1 tomorrow! Should be okay for both but Chemistry is one of those subjects I always fret about even though I'm usually grand.. Any predictions? Vinegar Titration would be lovely!

Mocks are so tiring, I'm shattered. At the same time, that week was the quickest week in the history of the universe ever! And I never exaggerate
