6th Year really IS flying after Christmas!

I'm finding its taking FOREVER. Christ I'd happily sit the leaving in the morning tbh.

I'm in two minds. On one hand I just want to take it and get it done because at the least I'd (probably!) get my course, its pretty low points for me. On the other hand, I want to do well, but I have less than 30 school days left :eek:

Lads I dunno if I should drop down to lower level maths or not

Oh god there's no feeling like getting a really difficult applied maths question right.

Too right you are.
Most relatable subject is accounting. Actually no I think Accounting is the best subject for feeling good after getting one right.
Both subjects where you think you're bound to make a mistake somewhere in the question:D

No bonus points are too good:eek:

And maths is piss-easy:rolleyes:
Here comes the shít storm:pac:

Seriously though, I'd say its repetitive enough you could do well with practice no problem.

How'd you do in the mock? If you passed, stick with it! But if you're gonna drop make sure to give yourself time to get used to the OL course too.

Haha true Happened to me doing exam papers outside in the sun today... nothing makes me happier

I've done nothing today. Meh.

I'm getting a new English Paper II copy tomorrow and writing up all my essay plans. I MUST LEARN THEM WELL.

Also Geography is wrecking my títs. Who honestly cares about the erosive processes involved in the formation of a Meander. Not me for one.

If you passed the mocks stick with it. It'd be almost impossible to get an A1 in ordinary if you dropped at this stage, and even if you did it wouldn't even be as good as the 70+ you'd get for passing higher. You know you want those bonus points!!

*Edit*
Just saw your last post, you nearly passed! A bit of work and you should be grand, loads of people fail higher Maths in mocks, and they do a lot worse than you did and still pass the real thing! (I actually know a few who failed and then passed the real thing and even got Cs in it, so it's not unlikely by any means if you're willing to work hard.)

Hey, thread stalker here.. I'd look over your papers if I were you and see how many points you lost on things you did, in fact, know and ''should'' have got.. e.g. I lost most of my marks in P2 on easy things like stats. (line of best fit, draw a graph, etc.) and it brought me down to an A2 (poor me lol!!).

If of the 66% you lost you don't know how to do them at all, OL might be more suited to you.

However, and I don't know you but still, I'd say that anyone who got more than 30% is probably not totally lost in the subject (plus I mean you've been in it for a year and 3 quarters) and should be able to pass with a bit of work.

And remember a pass = 70 points and a D1 = 80 points....

Also if you're going to drop, do it now as there's some stuff (albeit easy) that you'll need to know for OL that you probably haven't done since the JC..

Stick with it.

Fellow Frenchies, how do you say 'jersey' in French? Is it just 'le pull', or is there a different word for sports jerseys. I should know this but I can't remember it at all!

I know I'm a bit early, but by what stage do people usually have debs dates? Some people in my year have them but I don't know that many people I could bring :S

Since I just made my first post on this thread, I thought I may as well make my second one as well:

I've been a thread stalker on this forum (particularly this thread) for much of the last year and I'd like to say that it has been a source of great comfort to me in these desolate months..

For that I thank ye good people.

PS: did feck all study today. and by that I mean none at all.

It's a 'maillot', fairly sure it's masculine

Hoozah! Me too, everytime my Mam says to me about studying I go and get my Economics mock and hand it to her- I taught myself and got a good grade in the mock and she says, everytime:
*Sigh* 'I'm sorry PictureFrame, you know how much you need to study yourself, I won't annoy you about it'
Works every feckin' time!
