    I'm repeating the leaving cert this year and im looking for some advice on the 3 most practical/easiest leaving cert subjects to get covered in one year? i would rather subjects that are theory and factual learning instead of problem solving ones.

    I'm just looking for points this year as i have passed english, irish, maths and german.

    I will already be doing geography, biology and ag. science already this year as i got higher B3's in each of them.

    I will probably be getting 2 grinds a week in each of my 3 new subjects, so ill be putting alot of work into them.

    I was thinking of doing....

    Economics
    Business
    Phys/Chem or History or Home Ec or Construction??

    If anyone has any info on these subjects it would be greatly appreciated!

    And im wondering what Ag. Economics is like if anyone has any info?

    Any advice or info would be much great.........

    Geography, business and economics are the most popular choices for repeats. Easily covered in a year, and Economics/Business go hand in hand :D

    Definitely economics, you probably should go for business and I would personally recommend chemistry if you're serious about getting repeating, people will tell you it's too difficult but I took it up last year no problems.

    Do agricultural economics and economics.

    If you do choose business bear in mind there is a substantial workload to it.

    Have you ever considered another language? Japanease might sound very abstract but it is not hard at all, the A percentage is very high too and the course is very small.

    One cannot do both agricultural economics and economics. Would recommend the latter given it's more predictable in terms of what's coming up on the paper and what they can ask.
