    Is there enough time?
    March/ April - Restricted access course interviews, auditions, entrance exams

    April - Orals, Practicals

    May - cramming month!

    June - it has arrived.

    Anything else missing?
    Seriously, study tips? Is there anything to do that will help in the run-up to the LC?

    Edit: seeing some of the comments, I didn't mean to give ye mini heart attacks! LOL! but believe me I had one too. :D

    Saying goodbye to your social life is a good start :o

    I plan to make flashcards after my mocks and do all the exam questions in all my subjects, and reread all my textbooks and highlight important bits. Torture! :(

    Good plan :)

    To be honest, I've NEVER used flash cards but I am going to start! For lent! Haha :)

    Social life? What bloody social life?! lol I stopped going out before my mocks and studied like a mad person. It reeeeaally paid of though. :)

    Honestly though, I think doing past papers is the BEST and most beneficial way to study for the Leaving Cert. Ya think?

    I've never used them either but I wrote out little notes beside my geography SRP's and it helped loads, so I plan to use them for that :P

    Haha same, hopefully my mocks will show that too :D

    I agree especially for subjects like maths, but you have to make sure you do things that havent been asked before and dont get carried away with just the last few years of questions!
