    Edit: I think I'll be seen a lot less here. I need two B2's and 4 A1's..F*ck.

    i did that a while ago ... i need at least a b1 in maths and 4 A1s and then a b3 plus in either history or english, my weak subjects :O
    570 points :O and i have a job, no study done , just fml !!!

    My brain could manage 6 C1s with some light work to keep you occupied, have you ever thought maybe of a brain transplant? Don't want you getting bored!

    Never bored, I still have Chuck. I've watched over 50 hours since Friday before last. THAT is my evening study routine:p

    There is one incentive for me to do well though. Has anyone ever heard of the All Ireland Scholarships? They pay €6750 a year to students achieving v.high marks.

    Ah I see! Are you counting the one ordinary level subject or two? (as in most people do 7 subjects, I think? :P)
    I'm aiming for around 480 too and I've got no expectations of any A's so we can do it! :cool:

    I was 40 points short of my course from adding up my results which is a bit scary but I suppose it's motivation.

    Two. I'm doing 3 pass subjects in total, but I'm not counting german. :)
    I'll actually cry if I manage to get 480!
    We'll manage alright, atleast we're not alone. :pac:

    Now, off to study. :(

    Ah I see! If it's really what you want and you're motivated to get it then you'll have no problem!

    Its the first one mentioned here. The main criteria is a disadvantaged background and qualifying for the maintenance grant, don't think you necessarily need 600 points but they only give out 120 of them in the country!

    I dont get all the hate! It's so simplistic :eek: The people wanting to do maths in college hate it and rightfully so, they're not learning enough :P I haaaaaaaate the constructions though - 2 different ways of constructing a 9x4cm rectangle, using compasses?! It must have taken a while to complicate drawing a simple rectangle it that much :rolleyes:

    I know its all ridiculous!! I hate it for that reason, I want SOME challenge in maths, (not higher level challenging :p) but SOOOOME!! Constructions are time consuming and tiresome, i dislike them very much :pac:

    This may be just me, and not to sound pathetic, but do any of yas have moments where you're like "Fúck it I'll give up!" and then five minutes later be like "I'm motivated :D I'll study" but still do nothing? I feel like I'm veering steadily from one to the other here :pac:

    Hate the way all the vocabulary you get for aistes is so one-sided, just making notes for a status of Irish one and all the stuff about how the Gaelacht is being 'diluted' by newcomers and how insulting it is to go abroad and have people think you speak English is not what I think, but there's no alternative...y'know?

    For Irish I find it a little odd that we learn SO many ways to say negative things, but hardly any for saying the positives. It's kind of off-putting even though I enjoy Irish.

    Waaaaaah, trying to finally do my CAO has just made me more confused than ever. For the last few month I've been pretty much decided on having Law & French in UCC, UCD and TCD in some order as my top three, but I've just been looking at past exam papers for European Studies in Trinity and oh god I want to do it so badly

    I can honestly say it's one of the best things I ever did! But I have an irrational hatred for the language so that might've influenced my decision slightly...

    Just a piece of advice (for anyone) on Irish: If you happen to hate the literature but don't mind the rest, then it's still quite easy. The poetry and prose questions are only worth 5% each, and the drama/novel is just over 6%, so if you don't bother with them, but work on the oral, aural and essay, a good grade is still achievable. :)

    Obviously drop to pass if you want, but there is only a few more months so if you're counting it for points you might as well stick with it. :)
