    hey so I'm hoping to get an A in maths for my junior cert(I got 83% in my mocks) but i was wondering about studying for it. for the last few months of school we did every exam paper 1 twice so im fairly good at them and comfortable with the layout, now im doing sample papers i havent seen before going through them topic by topic but im not sure how many questions per topic is enough. any advice would be great!

    The way i did maths when i was doing the Junior Cert this close to the exam was flick through the paper and look at each question and say to yourself "can I do this?", and do a little solution plan in your head on how you would do it. Then when you see a question that looks tricky/harder/you're not comfortable with do that out on paper :)
