    Ok so here's what I have so far:
    Irish (ord.)
    English (hon.)
    German (hon.)
    Maths (ord.)
    History (hon.)
    Physics (hon.)

    My school's guidance councilor is saying I should really consider App. Maths as my second science subject,but I'm not sure wether Chemistry would be better.My main concern with App. Maths is struggling with the subject and having to cram for chemistry.

    Also I can't seem to find a decent non-science related subject.A few pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Remember you need honours maths in order to do applied maths!

    It good to have but it's not an actual requirement.

    Have you considered the likes of Geography, Economics or Business?

    Or Biology or Ag Science if you want to do another science?

    Maybe give us an idea of what you're interested in, if you know what you might like to do after school, and the subjects on offer in your school.

    Business is a good subject and kinda common sense so you wouldn't need to cram..

    I'm interested in politics, but can't seem to find a politics based subject unfortunately.
    I've looked at the economics exam papers and find quite boring to be honest.Geography would be worth looking at.
    Thanks QueenOfLeon.
