Wow, you can do 4? You're actually making it easier for yourself by doing these 4 science subjects, like you said they overlap etc. I don't think my school offers any other science subject except the main 3 : / oh well, I like geography so I'll do that, it also seems easy
I can't wait till LC 
I'll do stuff I love, while now I have to go threw sooo many useless stuff f.e. cspe, french (i hate it) etc

Ahh I did the LC last year I'm done :pac: I did Bio and Chem in school and Physics and Ag Science outside. It's a good idea to keep up a third language as you'll only matriculate for TCD without it (I think so anyway, open to correction there), which is making things difficult for yourself.0 -

Well what you're doing is invaluable for your bank of vocabulary. How and ever, bear in mind for that the examiner can vary the conventional procedure. When you initiate the conversation ie. como te llamas? OR cén t-ainm atá ort? you go on about yourself, family, friends etc. this will naturally lead to your area. discuss this in detail along with your house. then school which can lead to your future prospects, medicine. after this lead onto the state of the healthcare system and what you would do if you were taoiseach. this seems to cover everything, for irish anyway.
buen suerte. go n-eirí an t-ádh leat0 -

Haha, thanks! I actually do French so I don't get much of that Spanish... :P
I have the whole Taoiseach/conditional thing covered so hopefully I'll be ok.0 -

oh I'm doing Polish for LC instead of French and I'm exempted from Irish so I think that should work to get into Trinity also, what if you have to do experiments for your LC, did you do them by yourself? thanks 0 -

Best of luck and all, but focus on the JC for now. you know i paid no heed to it and then realised you need lots of A's to get medicine in UK.
Go focus on one task. take on tomorrow, not next month!0 -

But I dunno could I hack Italy or Malta, the UK is grand as it's almost like just going to Dublin or something, the travel connections with Ireland are so good there'd be no bother but I just feel Italy or Malta is a totally different kettle of fish that I'd have to have a deeper think about before deciding on, but sure we'll deal with that next year if it comes around!
yeah they are all valid concerns.
well if i get it, you can come visit and see for yourself! :P
hopefully we will get it here this year though! 0 -

Thank you I'm grand with the JC, I'll be happy with the results I got for mocks (7 A's and 2 B's) because really you don't need JC, it's only to test you, to see what subjects you should do for the LC, that's why I'm here worrying about LC instead of JC, LC decides on my future, JC doesn't- well, it has some effect on you, but seriously not so much as the LC, and in Ireland no one will ever look at your JC results if you did your LC and you're off to college, I'm not sure if in other countries like England it matters, but I'll apply in Ireland first, I would die to get into Trinity, but there are more and more and more people applying every year, the competition is stiff, I just need to do really well in the LC and pass the HPAT, nothing more 0 -

Well i know for one or two in UK you needed 8 A's. (stand to be corrected)
yes, i admire you interest. i too was just like you in that respect, i always got ahead of myself. :P
Well man, you don't know if the HPAT will be in place then. so chill, takes things as they come, for now!
enjoy your summer, and as soon as 5th year comes, let nothing get on top of you, study it all as you get it. i was told that and once or twice forgot about it! :P If you are so dedicated about medicine, you WILL get it. somehow.
Anyway, go and relax. focus on the task ahead. Try to get the best possible results in the JC. why not 12 A's???? go get top marks in maths and business and get awards. all of this will build up your CV and your personal statement shoud you ever consider the UK.
The very best of luck! 0 -

yeah, same here, and I know what I want to do in my life and I think TY is for people that are not prepared for their adult lives my school is really weird, they only do a stupid play in TY which is so bad that no one buys the tickets to see it, they were actually giving out free tickets! 0 -

How much are all ye guys saying for the sraith pictiúr? Our teacher says that the stuff in the little booklet will only secure you 40% an bhfuil sin fíor nó breagach? i'd imagine not a whole lot more would be needed?
Any help will be appreciation.

Fantastic.
okay i have another question for you so.
we got notes on how to make a cup of tea, how to play sport, what happens at a retreat, the new pope, and a load more bs.
will this be needed? like did your teacher ever do that stuff with ye? and did he/she say anything that is important this year? 0
