    Hi,
    So basically I just need some help.
    My goal for the junior cert is 5+ A's, 4B'S and One C (Irish).

    I've been finding it hard to get focused lately and to start studying, I have been doing my fair share and putting in time but sometimes it doesn't feel like a lot, so with three weeks to go I'm looking for any advice.

    My pre/mock results are as follows:

    English: 72% (I got a bit caught for time, I think I could have gotten higher)
    Mathematics: 73% (I've been working a lot since then, I really need too get this up to an A)
    French: 70% (I'm pretty happy with this as didn't do much work for this, but I've been working a bit since then and hope I can grasp an A)
    German: 80% (I definitely can get an A, I just need to put my head down and get focused)
    History: 78% (I knew what was coming up on some of the pre so it's not really a fair result, I'd say fair would have been maybe 72%)
    Geography: 77% (Genuine 77% I've done a lot of work since then, I'm hoping to get this up to an A)
    Business: 73% (A bit disappointed as this as business (not accounting) Is one of my favourite subjects, I just got caught... I need to work on this)
    Irish: 50% (no comment)
    CSPE: 96% (This is good, I hope to keep it up, Just hope my project will Be on par with this)
    Science: 65% (Really pissed off about that result, Have never gotten lower than an A in science, I've done a lot of work since then, I'm working to get this up to an A)

    So basically, I just want to know, from those pre results, is it possible to achieve my above goal (5a's, 4b's, 1c) an if so how? Can anyone give me a rough idea of the work I should be doing for the next three weeks?

    Thank you so much in advance,
    John :)

    I think you could really achieve those results! I'd say you could easily get an A In Science, Geography, CSPE, History, German, English, Maths, French and Business. then maybe b/c in Irish :)

    to get the A in business is Relatively easy as you already know 50% which is guaranteed.
    10% Books of first entry
    10% Budget
    10% Final accounts and balance sheets
    10% Club accounts
    10% Business Documents :)

    Look at what areas you lost your marks in and work on them. No point studying areas you are already good at.

    What do u mean 50% is guaranteed? You expect everybody to get full marks in those 5 questions?? Yes, they come up every year but they're not easy. Also, Economics also comes up every year and my teacher didn't do Books of first entry with us cus she said it was really hard, like worse than Final Accounts which is already a pain in the ass.

    You're very close to it. My money would be on you getting at least 5.

    Make sure you don't do anything silly, like leaving out a section or part or answering the wrong combination of questions.
