    A list of everything. In case anyone finds it helpful.
    Applied Maths:
    Linear Motion
    Relative Velocity
    Projectiles
    Connected Particles
    Impacts & Collisions
    Differential Equations
    I'm guessing they are your six? I still have no idea which 6/9 studied I'll do. In the pre, I didn't even do newtons particles, despite it generally being a very nice and one of the most widely answered questions. I would have been happy enough to do any of them.

    You managed to study 9 for applied maths? How'd you even get the time? We're only doing 6 in class and I'm looking into learning Relative Velocity off someone else

    Covered all 10 comfortably enough, been doing revision since mid term. Still not sure what 6 I'm going to answer on, but rel velocity won't be one of them.

    I have absolutely no clue how you possible got 9 done? How many classes do you get a week? We did hydrostatics too but I didn't get it so I just left it out.

    We've eight done, probably could have done 9 but we said we'd just do exam questions!

    That explains it. We have one double class a week.

    Hoping for law in ucd, ill be heartbroken if I can't get it, hoping to hit 505 or 510, the course hasnt broken the 500 point barrier for years! What about you? English is my best subject, so an A in that and economics would set me on the right road!

    Hoping for around 390 or so. My best would be Business or Geography and I had the worst examiner for Business. Got a D3 when it was at least a C3. I had an entire page not even marked!

    Yeah I do! As far as I know it went up 20 points last year and the few years before that too! Could be mixing it up though with another course but I'm almost 100% sure...

    At least you have some warning. I missed our year group photo because of a dentist's appointment and then some of our individual photos had to be retaken. I'm pretty sure my original one looked alright but then they just sprung the retakes on us so it probably looks dreadful, not a sliver of make up in sight, hair was probably all over the place too.

    Was it? I was told by someone who runs it in ucc that it was 390 in 2011! Hopefully so it won't increase by much this year! :P

    Ok weird, had another look there http://www.ucc.ie/en/study/undergrad/cao/
    2010 = 380
    2011 = 400
    2012 = 410

    I could have sworn it was 420 in 2011, damn . Thought it was on the way down! :(

    Hope you're right, was two subgrades off what I want in most!
    English -B3
    Irish -C1
    German - C1
    Economics - C1/B1
    Business - C3
    History - C1 ( assuming I get the mark in my project that my teacher gave it after 4 tedious fùcking drafts!)
    Also failed OL maths having completely neglected it all year! A few lads inmy year wanting Business in UL, popular course still so much time for everyone to boost though!

    Lads, you have the funds for one day ticket for Longitude, which day do you go with?

    Friday - Jake Bugg, Foals, Phoenix

    Saturday - Villagers, Kodaline, Vampire Weekend, Maccabees

    Sunday - Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse

    A toughie. I could sacrifice Eminem and do all three but it's non camping so that's a bit of a pain. And I've already kinda committed to Eminem so I don't wanna leave people hanging...

    Oh I knew it was something along those lines, I think it was 380 in 2009 as well! And not everyone at 410 points got it last year! But I'm hoping that it won't increase by much this because the maths bonus points made its impact last year on the points!

    Yeah I got 300 in the mocks counting 5 points for a D3 in OL because I failed Hons Biology! In pass Bio now so want at least a b3 in that. Hopefully Business isn't too popular went down 15 points last year!

    I'd go the Friday I think, as I love Jake Bugg (thanks! :p) and I'd say Foals would be incredible to see live. And sure Phoenix are pretty good too. Tough choice though.

    I wish I had the cash for Electric Picnic but I have no job and I've got a lot of stuff other stuff on this summer so it will have to be next year.
