Though I thought that you have to repeat the leaving cert after 2 years as well? I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure I heard that.
Aw cool, thanks guys. Just wondering if over the summer I change my whole outlook again what I could do. I am happy enough with my course, but I just like the whole subject material of medicine and it has always interested me so idk

Haha yeah I'd love to, and all my premed friends were so annoyed when I said I was thinking of it but didn't do the HPAT :P I'll be contemplating it over the summer anyways

Does anyone here do Accounting?
If so, do you know where the insurance and rent figures for December come from in the 2009 tabular statement. they are 9400 and 7000 euro respectively.
I know this is probably fierce simple but like i always get stuck on this part and i don't want to lose marks for nothing!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS. i know this is not the correct forum but it is the only active one i know of related to the leaving cert, so.0 -

Don't have the question at hand or anything but it's probably because there's amounts due/prepaid eg if the Insurance figure is for 12 months starting 31/3/2008 then only nine months are for 2008 and 3 for 2009. So you put in the total figure for whatever month it arises in, then the amount for this year in December, and the prepaid amount will be in the total Assets (total amount - amount for this year). Dunno what way they do it in the marking scheme tbh but that's how we set it up anyway. This might not be the problem at all but that's usually the case with Insurance and Rent in tabs. If it's something else or if I've done a terrible job of explaining, just ask and I'll actually put the massive effort into looking at the question.:P0 -

Yeah that is the probelm. thanks but tbh, i still don't get the figures. Like i understand the the prepaid/due bit etc but just getting the right figure is proving difficult so i presume i am doing it completely wrong.
Here is the bit you need to know:
March Received a bank statement on 1st March showing a direct debit of €9,600 to cover fire insurance
for year ended 28/2/2009 and a credit transfer received of €7,700 to cover 11 months rent
receivable in advance from March 1.
The december figures in the solution for insurance and rent are 9400£ and 7000£ respectively.
Thanks so much for your help. i have a feeling tabular will appear this year! 
Wait, i think i get the 7000£ figure. you divide 7700 by 11 and multiply by the 10 months left?????
still stuck on the insurance one though

Yeah that's the rent, Insurance is for a year but only 10 months apply to this year so 10/12 of 9600 is...8000. OK so that confused me enough to look at the question, and see there's 1400 already in Insurance which is presumably for January and February so add 1400 and 8000 and there's your 9400 for the year. 0 -

As I say I don#t think there's ever going to be a perfect system where everyone who's right for medicine gets in and the people who aren't don't, I personally think despite it's perceived unfairness the HPAT with the LC is probably the best system there is, but not without it's faults, but that's my own personal opinion and people are more than welcome to disagree!
quite right. As i said in an earlier post, i also think the HPAT system, although doesn't favour me, is alright. i can't think of any other way. I just wish they accepted more and let the more able students stay on and the lesser leave. The french system accepts EVERYBODY basically and then they are all examined by the lectures and the best are kept. or so i am told anyway. this, in my opinion, would be good.
I am guessing you have not applied abroad?0 -

Nope as I say, it's the opinion of both my parents and myself that I'm a bit too young this year, on top of that also I only decided I'd apply for medicine at all just before Christmas. But if I don't get in next year and I repeat then yeah I'll probably apply to the UK, not sure about Italy and Malta though!0 -
