    Said I'd give this a go anyways, nothing to lose I guess!
    Been a bit all over the place with what I'm covering and not so hopefully this will keep me on top of things for now. Aiming pretty high points wise, going to need over 500 for my course anyways so anything above 520 and I should be happy. Subjects and best case results;

    English (H) - B1
    Irish (H) - B3
    Maths (H) - B2
    Geography - A1
    Chemistry - A1
    Ag. Science - A1
    DCG - C2 (lets just forget about that one:D)

    It's pretty optimistic but with some decent work between now and June, it's certainly attainable.
    LC, come at me.

    Last few days have been terrible on the study front. From hanging to babysitting, verrrry little has been done. Worked my ass off for the best part of the holidays yet I still find myself facing into the final weekend with a mountain of work before me, arrghh. So yeah, hectic weekend ahead. What must be done before we go back Monday;

    Maths - Finish up the end of the 2014 Sample Paper Two, and do out all of the 22(?) Constructions.

    Irish - Essay on Influence of the Media and an exam question on Tóraíocht (shudders, hopefully get a chance to revise some grammar too. Also Sráith 8

    Geography - Made out a list of 11 physical essays to learn off a few days back, get at least two more of them out of the way.

    Ag Science - Grassland project due in for Monday morning, yet to be started. Visited my farmer and got all I need, just need to get it down for reals. Do some Q7s and compile a list of must know definitions for Genetics

    DCG - Put some seeeeeeeerious effort into my project, nothing done as of yet and the deadline looming in just two weeks. Also have two questions to do, haven't shed a glance at them yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 95 ✭✭accountname


    Got most of the above covered so I'm fairly happy. Can't see a lot of study per se being done for the next two weeks with DCG coming closer and closer but I'll try keep it steady and do what I can anyways! Have a feeling the stretch from now until the midterm will be worse than the LC itself. Aims for this week:

    English Study for class test on Macbeth on Friday

    Irish Finish up our Christmas work and start learning Daoine Oga essay

    Maths Revise Logs

    Chemistry Get cracking on some Question 3s

    Ag Science Revise Beef Production section

    Geography Learn 3 more sample answers

    DCG Projeccccccttttttt


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 95 ✭✭accountname


    As bad of a week study-wise that it's been, I must update this anywhom. What went down this week;

    English Had a Macbeth test so focused on that, pretty happy with how I got on, see no reason why I shouldn't get a B1

    Irish Did a sraith, finished Christmas work

    Maths Got revision stuff for Mocks so I'm working through them, feeling sorted for the Mock :D

    DCG Project is coming along, not quite there yet but it's coming together

    Chemistry No revision done, need to get doing some!

    Ag Science Not a lot done again, briefly looked at Animal Classifications

    Geog Nothing, neeeeeeeed to get going!


    Pretty poor week, and with it being the last week of DCG I won't plan to do much next week either. Mocks start the 5th so here's some sort of prediction;

    English B2-- 80
    Maths B2-- 105
    Irish C2 -- 65
    Chem C1 -- 70
    Ag C1-- 70
    Geog C1-- 70
    DCG C3--60

    Points -- 460

    Not where I want, but I'll feel on track if I get them, considering we've only really finished the English course!

    Getting back into the swing of things now and feeling relatively on top of it all. We'll see how long this optimism lasts though.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 95 ✭✭accountname


    Well it's been a grueling week but the worst is somewhat over :P As a whole the mocks went all right. I know it's not the best idea to do the post mortem but oh well;

    English; Went decent. Knew what was coming up reluctantly! Everything went pretty well bar the comparative. Was a half arsed effort tbh but we haven't done any answers on it yet so I wouldn't expect much anyways. Pretty happy with my short story and that on paper one :) Timing wasn't as tight as I anticipated and got both done with about 10 mins left.

    Maths; Found this really easy :o Teacher gave us a lot of topics to look over but still it was easy! There was one really sticky question on a window wiper that I've been having nightmares over since though :pac: Timing not too bad, had a few mins to spare for only paper we did all of

    Irish; Did graaaand. Don't know what I'd do without spoilers though! Soooo much time especially on paper one

    Chemistry; Went in with no spoilers at all and zero work the night before, but I came out pretty happy. Very tricky question 6 will bring me down though. Had time to do an extra question, but I didn't know anymore aha

    Ag; Went pretty well I thought consider I had no hints either! Time to do an extra question as well but I didn't bother because we'd nothing else covered. Very tricky question one though

    Geography; Knew all the essays that were coming up. Probably my tightest exam for time though

    Overall I'm pretty happy with how I did and if i got them papers for the actual thing I think I'd be pretty content. No room for complacency though ;) Aiming for about 480 but I'm really not bothered too much on points as after all, it's only the mocks! Roll on a week of nothingness :rolleyes:

    Slowly got into a bit of work over the last two days. So far I've done;

    English Made Theme/Issue notes for my three texts.
    Irish Sraiths 1-5, know them pretty well now, hopefully know 10 by Monday.
    Maths Done the revision work we got for midterm

    Tomorrow and Saturday I wanna get a good bit done, hopefully get some of my ag project re-written and an essay or two of Geography. Finished the Chemistry course so we'll be doing alot of revision in class from here on out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 95 ✭✭accountname

    English Finished notes on theme/issue
    Irish Sraiths 13, 14 and 15 (8 fully learnt)

    Ag Science Fully wrote out Potatoes and started on Grassland

    100 days to go! Everyone seems to be panicking but it seems like loads of time to me? :P No doubt come the start of June I wish I wasn't feeling so calm, ah well!
