    Music! I've a week to study it after Biology is done, and my practical went swimmingly!!:):P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 519 ✭✭✭flyaway.


    Definitely English. It's the only subject I'm not terrified about... well, that and OL Irish.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33 CokeyBear


    Geography, Chemistry and Ag Science. Looking for A's in all of them and pretty confident about them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13 moviequoter


    Art and English... then I'll have nearly a week to study for Classical studies, so hopefully that'll go down well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 448 ✭✭Bbbbolger


    Music for the same reasons as _Meehan_ and Engineering. I love the Engineering paper because I actually know most of the answers. Makes it so much better when you dont need an opinion like English or Irish :D

    geography...got 80% in mocks with little to no study and project is always a easy 20% already....also economics because it actually interests me, and have 6 days off before it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 309 ✭✭DaveMur1


    I'm fairly confident going in to economics , geography, business , accounting & music.
    Anyone know if ya get like sum prize for writing the best english story or ,something like the highest mark in the country in one of your subjects?


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,264 ✭✭✭✭Fireball07


    Accounting because it's by far the easiest subject I do.

    Hopefully French, History, English and Irish won't be too far behind.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭J_E


    English and Music. DCG too if the paper isn't too out-of-the-box.


  • Registered Users Posts: 204 ✭✭polka dot


    Definitely English. Hopefully the rest won't be too far behind.

    Hopefully A1s in History and Business


  • Registered Users Posts: 94 ✭✭AlanBr


    Im going into 6th year but I'd say my best subjects would be Maths, Applied maths, Physics and Geography :D

    Eh my friend said he got some medal for achieving 100% in Business in the the Junior Cert so I'd presume so...

    I have a friend who got an award for having the best Business exam in JC so I suppose there's something for the LC too.

    Only if you get 100% as far as I know. Definitely not for best story. If it's that good, then they'll use it at conferences as an example of a great story. After you write the story they have all rights over it so.

    Some schools give you prizes if you get over 500 points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 372 ✭✭Patriciamc93


    It was maths....... But now it's accounting! Just hoping they don't mess that up to!


  • Registered Users Posts: 39 kt.alice


    Definitely German. Passed the fluency exam this year, so if I don't get an A1 in this I will freak the feck out! Haha! :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 60 ✭✭ClaireMarie


    Hopefully biology.. I've learned my stuff, and that's the beauty of biology - if you work hard it always pays off! For me anyway!
    Also chemistry is one I'm depending on for the A

    the awkward moment when you pick maths as the subject you are most likely to do best in :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 135 ✭✭hunii07


    Definitely Biology and English..Biology was my best subject in the LC last yr.. I'm a repeat..got a B2 in Higher.... It's the one I'm most confident about:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 494 ✭✭PJelly


    Biology and Accountancy.
    Got an A1 in my Biology mock, and a B1 in my last Accountancy mock. Despite failing a full question :p
    In the 4 questions I got an A1, A1, E, A1 :D
    Plus I have four days to study beforehand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭biggaman


    * scratches maths off his top 6 results.. *


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 334 ✭✭._.


    Biology, Chemistry and Ag. Science.
    I'd love to say Japanese too, but I ****ed up my oral so badly I'd be lucky to get a B2. I can get an A in the exam, and about 80% of the aural, but that oral exam was really bad. :\

    And i'm set for doing pretty well and pass maths, but I don't think that counts :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 814 ✭✭✭NotExactly


    Everyone doin' Biology seems to be fairly confident about it. I hope we get a nice paper :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 348 ✭✭xclw


    Maths - passs :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 596 ✭✭✭Bonkers_xOx


    It was maths... until Friday. Maybe Irish or art.

    . . .jmind me asking what instrument/practical type youu did. . . .seemed to go much better in my school for people who did half-technology, and for people who played instruments as opposed to singing. . . .

    It eh, was, Maths. Now I reckon English, or maybe Biology seeing as it was my best Mock even though it got the least study. I think of it as a forgiving exam :P
