I don't want to repeat, but if I have to to get the course I want, i'll suck it up and go back. My course has been 450 the last 3 years (BCL Law & Economics) and there's only been 53 extra applicants to Law courses (according to the CAO), so the most it could go up is probably 5 points.

Worst case scenario at the minute, I think this is what I could of gotten:

1. English- B3
2. Geography- C2
3. Business- B1
4. Economics- B1
5. French- C1
6. Music (left to do AND STUDY FOR), i'd say B3

That'd give me 455 which is just what I need tbh! :S..

I was 100% positive of getting my course before I sat that Geography paper, (got a B1 in the Mock :rolleyes:) was fairly sure of getting an A2 that morning, now a C2 lucky I think..

I'm not taking any other course rather than Law with Economics..

Were you not the guy who got A1's and A2's all round for the mocks?

3 A's, 4 B's and 1 C. However due to very personal reasons I won't discuss, my head wasn't really in the books over the last couple of months.

Reverse sicology, you shouldn't have mentioned "very personal reasons" now everyone wants to know

There's no way in hell Im repeating i don't care how many points i do and don't get. There's other collage courses and PLCs out there. The LC wasn't that bad for me i just don't see the point in repeating and what makes people think they'll do it way better the second time around

Oh sorry to hear that. I'm sure you'll do better than expected anyway

On another note: I won't repeat unless I fail maths. Doing that all over again, without your friends- I don't think so. I don't think I'd survive a no- show Plath or Heaney paper again or their predicted equivalents next year.

Culinary studies in CIT.

I am not repeating. I've been looking forward to college throughout Sixth Year and was craving to leave school and this town. Worked maybe not to the best of my ability but close to and I'm very happy with how it all went. I'm estimating I improved my Mocks result by 105 points.
At the start of the year my LC target was 420, around Christmas I raised it to 450 and in April I set out to get 500. I feel that I might have got it, exams were mostly kind to me.

How do you find out how many applicants have applied for a course?

imelle

definitely will not be repeating....one year of repeating is enough for me . . don't think i'd be able to handle the craic if i repeated again

No repeating for me! I think I'll get my courses (TAP and Arts in NUIG) so I'm not to worried. Even if I didn't I'd do a Liberal Arts PLC.

Not repeating. I'm lucky enough to have a place in college already and my grades really just have to be the same as they have been which I'm sure I've maintained.

Its usually on the prospectus or on the course information on qualifax.ie.

I'm sure I'll be repeating! I didn't do enough work this year, thinking it wouldn't be so bad

Where do you find the numbers for specific courses? Or is that available?
On the prospectus it only states the number of places for a course..

Oh sorry, I read your question wrong! This is the closest you're going to get, although you can't get individual courses from that, just groups.

Simple question, How do you go about repeating your leaving etc?

Just sign up with your school again in August when they do all that stuff.
