Leaving Cert 2014 OT v2.0 - Official Bitch & Moan thread

LoveLamps

People who have finished school - hows your study going & what kinda routine you doing?
Im thinking about following school structure.. Start at 9, break at 11, break at 1.30, finish about 4. Then maybe do more from 6 ish till whenever
Great opportunity to desperately cram which i reaaally need to do. Not ideal but needs must i suppose

Not like a big chicken fillet roll, a packet of sweets or something just to keep your energy levels up during the exam

I've heard of people eating sweets and stuff during the exam.

Not sure if we're really allowed to or not though.

While I'm not sure that it's strictly speaking "allowed", normally no-one will take any notice PROVIDED that it's not something which makes noise e.g. crinkly plastic bags, etc.

Yes you can eat but how would you have time to eat? In English we're all gonna be breaking our balls to get something half decent on the page if you've time to eat there's something wrong. What exam could you possibly have time to eat? Well I graduated today it was a good night, goodnight all.

I had my grad last night... Only got home an hour or two ago.. I'm extremely feckered and very thankful for the wonderful invention that is autocorrect

memorising an essay is the worst thing you can do! do NOT DO THAT. You will lose marks if they think the essay was learnt off and also it puts way too much stress on you, its way too hard to learn essays. Just learn some key points about certain topics ie macbeths character, kingship etc and learn some quotes. then itll all come to you on the day

Not word for word...general points,and quotes from a sample answer.

Anyone think the experiment to investigate le chatelier's principle is likely to come up?
I know the colours of the chemicals but I just can't learn the equations for the life of me

Yeah I'd say if equilibrium comes up it'll be on it. Hate those experiments though :L

Equilibrium is tipped as a half question this year. Produciton of O2 is predicted for question 3. When it last came up they gave us the equation and colours and just asked how to explain whats happening.

Nah, being at One Direction would be like having a triple hangover, a urinary tract infection and boils where you sit.

They make me feel special because I realise when I hear them that my taste in music isn't sh*t.

Yeah, stop encouraging people to look up stuff about Cork, we're trying to pretend that it doesn't exist! :pac:
