I know, right? -_-

I seem to be spending all my time on history and geography. Irish and Science are the only ones I'm confident for, plus I'm doing music so mine is dragged out until the 19th.

Revising for maths, English paper 2 and geography mainly. Confident with ordinary level Irish. Will put some focus onto the 2nd week of exams but not a lot until next weekend. Looking forward to Business though, 91% in the mocks so hoping I can repeat that.

Out of all the exams I'm pretty much worried about everyone of them except for Irish, Business and English and of course who would worry about CSPE?

I'm grand for Irish, I can't help but worry for English, but in reality I'll be fine and Business... well, lets just say I can't wait to kick theory out the door.

Business accounting is driving me bleedin' mental. I lose a ridiculous amount of marks in the short questions because I don't know how to do them stupid accounting questions. It pisses me off that I might not get an "A" because of them stupid questions :mad:

I don't get the short question ones either, to be honest, but as a whole accounting is better in the exam, due to being guaranteed.

omg haha same our teacher was like hands up if you're coming with me to Galway :P Oh I'm so scared I really want an A in English and Maths badly, they're the only two I want but I kind of think I won't be able to and I'll probably end up with a B in Irish. And ugh Geography, I could go on forever

Don't worry about it in the words of my older friends "it's only the Junior Cert" :P. I don't have any tips for maths but with English just DON'T waffle it's better to have an answer that explains everything but is only half a page long then two pages full of crap. Keep your eye on the time and you should be fine.

For English, German, All Business Subjects, maybe the Science subjects, Geography and also History, you just get split up into Honours and Pass in most schools I think because that's what our school does.

While in our school for Maths, Irish, French and maybe Science, they check your grade and split you up into Top, Second, Third, Bottom Honours and then Pass.

Also our History teacher who is also an English teacher told us that there is absolutely no link between Junior Cert and Leaving Cert History so it is possible that you can be amazing at Junior Cert and get an A and then get Average like a C/D in leaving cert. (also apparently theres some project worth 20%). He also told us that Leaving Cert English has no link to JC.

Your history teacher is right, you could be brilliant at ancient history but that isn't going to come up on your LC, it's all modern history. But I have my project picked for history already, I'm getting my reading done over the summer on it but I already know heaps about it anyways;)

You could do your History project on absolutely anything you want, that's what our teacher told us. He told us one of his old Leaving Cert students did it on the "Origin and Development of the Barbie Doll".:D

I'm not doing History because my parents won't let me but I would have properly done it on something like "Change in Superhero Films over time".. LOL

Hilarious!!! LOL. Our school I think will have 40-50 TY's in September but our school is huge (nearly 300 third years).

TY is only useful if you started school early and if you're around 1 year younger than everyone else.

"Spurious seriously... Can't a guy let off some steam and seriously you don't need to edit everything that I said and also what Positivealf said . God, and there was me thinking that the corrupt mods from Boards.ie were going to leave after my crazy encounter with them at the summer... "

1200 students in your school - you know that more or less identifies it, or makes it one of a very small number?
Please think about what you are posting.
