Nothing beats a bit of dodgy broken English!


I'm really mad for speaking with a good French accent, our teacher talks in this terrible Cork accent and a lot of people have now picked it up when they speak French :L

Re: REPEATING THE LEAVING CERT

okay, so i am weighing up my options if i don't get Medicine.
I have a few questions regarding repeating.
Say if you get an A1 in biology and spanish and chemistry.
Can you repeat without doing these again? like say if i took up ag-science and french and economics, and do all the other subjects, can i still keep my A's in My initial leaving cert? and use them for points?
thanks in advance!

Nah, you can use them for matriculation purposes so like if you repeated again you wouldn't need any science subjects or a third language, but they wouldn't be counted as points, your subjects have to all be sat in the same sitting of the LC to be used as points!

How's your study plan going out of interest?:)

I actually don't think you can use them for matriculation. I was under the impression for medicine you have to use the points from the same sitting as the subjects you need to matriculate. Open to correction though.

Just Like Heaven

Yeah you have to re-matriculate again for Medicine. There was a repeat in my year back hoping to get vet med and he dropped Irish, English, French everything he wasn't confident he'd get an A1 in. Seemed dead handy.

Oh sorry yeah you're right there, totally discount everything I said, yeah you'd have to do everything again outnumbered. Well, if they're matriculation requirements anyway.

Just Like Heaven

They are, I think they only brought it in at the same time they brought in the Hpat though. Hence all the stories going around about "X has an older brother who repeated for Medicine a few years ago and dropped Irish, so you should definitely drop Irish!" Could end up a bit stuck.

There's still plenty of time anyway @outnumbered, I got less than 300 in my mocks last year and turned it round.

Okay i thought so.
Well for UCD you need english, irish, maths, third language, one lab science subject, another subject.
But because i do chem and biology, and if i got an A1 in biology, i wouldn't have to do it again? just do chemistry, yeah? but can i use the A1 in biology for points, no?
Haha it is going fairly to plan. i am putting in them hours just with tons of breaks! it feels like i am getting nothing done though. i seem to be focusing on chemistry and biology once again! :P oh and i took yesterday off and half day today! :P
How's yours going?

I don't think so. AFAIK Absolutely everything has to be done again, except the hpat which is (currently) valid for two years.

okay that is kind of what i though anyway, just needed to make sure.
Seriously? god that gives me hope! thanks so much.
I also have applied to Italy and Malta as well so fingers crossed.
Decades of the rosary are being said. my mother's work is saying novenas for me and my granny has all her friends praying too. hahaha wishful thinking :P

OMG, just watching David Attenborough on telly. he is talking about the venus fly trap triggers and the 20 second rule thing. Ring a bell? It made up many HPAT questions!

Slow Show

That rings a slight bell but only a slight one, good to see I've succeeded in blocking the HPAT from my mind.

I knew about the 20-second rule before it was cool though, Venus flytraps are well up there with my list of irrational fears though, look how scary they are.

Poor fly never had a chance.

I'm just wondering if any of you have heard the rumour that the HPAT results are going to be released earlier, due to guidance counsellors saying that young people have to "learn to cope with disappointment"? I don't know if there's any truth in it but I said I'd ask all of you in case any of you have heard it too! :P

I'd say someone's having an early April Fools' joke with you.

To be honest, I hope that is absolutely false because I'm really not up for a disappointment of that scale before the exams. I'd be crushed.

It won't be dissapointing at all! be grand haha

Why did I get the idea in my head that HPAT results are out 24th of June? The website only says Late June 2013 :eek:
