why wouldnt LCVP not count in someones 6 subjects?? It can get a max of 70 points and you are guaranteed 30 points(you would have to be very thick to fail it) so it is a very helpful subject especially if you do a couple of subjects at pass.Why do people do 9 subjects?
whats the point?
Does this LCVP count in your 6 subjects or is it outside?0 -

I did it because I need French to get into NUI Colleges and Im not too strong at Maths. I did those at Ordinary level. We have to do 7 subjects in school, I picked Music as an elective (offered by the school in place of P.E) because I've played all my life and then I did Biology outside of school to have another subject I could do well in. I suppose its all about maximising your potential for ponts. If I had stuck with just my original 7 subjects I would have had to count either ordinary French or Maths for points. Now I can count Biology or Music, both of which I should do well in. It does take more effort but I did zero study on Maths or French until the nights before the exams. I barely even did homework in them. I was really only studying 7 subjects.0 -

10...Are you kidding. English and Maths are the two most important subjects. Period.
Yeah because I can't live without knowing the cosine rule or being able to quote from hamlet.:rolleyes:
The fact is they're the only two subjects I've never used outside the classroom. Period

A recent study showed that the best indicators of progress at third level were grades in Leaving Cert Maths and English. People who did well in them (particularly Maths) were more likely to do well in university.
Anytime you write an essay for any subject (Geography, Religion?), you're using skills you learned in English. And anytime you do a calculation for Chemistry, that's Maths, isn't it? How can you possibly say you've never used English or Maths outside the classroom if you're saying you can use the other subjects? Logically fallacious, your argument is.

Sorry, I'm at fault here. I wasn't making myself clear, I just presumed you understood what I was talking about.
I meant Leaving Cert English not the language itself. 0 -

Sorry, again I'm at fault. I meant Leaving Cert English and Leaving Cert Maths were useless.A recent study showed that the best indicators of progress at third level were grades in Leaving Cert Maths and English.

/rant I thought you knew what I meant... no worries!
I knew how to write essays from Primary school Irish and then just applied the methodology to everything else I guess, perfecting my skills at writing them as I got older. Again... any maths I use in other subjects is learned in primary school and filling into formulae I don't learn in Leaving Cert Maths.
No bother though. I can see you thought I meant the actual areas of English and maths, an that you did not realise I meant the LC subjects. 0 -
Yes... what hobby's involve trigonometry ? Or why do u have to now all of this poems ?
LC maths is useless that's it we need maths okey but not that complicated
if you will finish your maths on primary level you be still able to do chemistry calculations or accounting etc0 -

Exactly! I so agree with you!
Or at least make maths and English optional after Junior Cert!0 -
yep they should... if someone wants to go further with their maths like computer programming etc. then they could just pick maths or if you want to be journalist you can pick English
i can agree that maths or english are important because in some way maths develops person intellectual skills etc but they probably never gonna change maths and english and make them optional... i presume their are core subjects in every country, like i mean maths and the language the country is speaking0 -

Not in the UK. That's the only other country's education system I know (well I kinda know about the oul schulsystem in Deutschland but not sur about core subjects!). I'm so jealous of my cousin in England who's the same age as me and was allowed give up English and maths after his gcse exams.0 -

Okey I didn't know that they can drop maths and english in England seems great
well in Poland maths use to be not on LC like you had to do it but you don't have to write LC from it but polish was core subject and every one have to write LC from it... unfortunately maths come back as the core subject this year or last year and everyone have to write LC from it...0
