    For the geography field study, do you only mention the activities you have participated in or do you mention everything your group has done?

    Having a hard time staying within the allocated word count :/

    I pretended I did everything, didn't give any credit to the group. I was about 400 words over the word count and got 96/100 on it so I wouldn't really care that much about it. So long as you've got your SRPs that's all that matter.

    Wow, almost 100% on it :o.

    Thanks.

    Filling out Susi, but the dates for some arent correct. half the application is refering to as if im applying as a 2014/2015 applicant, and bits are assuming I am 2015/2016 applicant. I'm assuming this is an error by them.

    A load of them have been making people register, I had to do a form for IT Tallaght, DCU and a couple of others that I can't think of. I would understand if they were asking big groups of people to register but when it's just individuals I'm not sure what the point is... Not sure why some of them ask for your address on the applications either

    Does anyone have a clue about the French document for the oral? Our teacher is an absolute eejit and hasn't told us anything about it

    I was thinking it was for the news so they could say

    "We did SO well, we had X thousand people here today"

    So I'm exempt from oral exams but basically from what I gather, it's a photograph (for the majority in my class anyway) or an item that you could easily talk about and you compose a small little paragraph on it to talk about with the examiner - it's optional to do it or not so maybe your teacher just pre-decided not to go into that part of the exam with you? :/

    But say you brought in a a photo of you and friends on holidays somewhere, you'd have to say who's in the photo, when/where it was/who took it, and what else you did there. One of my teachers said one boy she examined brought in sketches of anime characters that he drew for a hobby and he just talked about that (and drew her as well apparently) for it so you could go down that route as well :D

    Not sure if that was what you meant, but I hope it helped in some form!! >~<

    I'm not sure if anyone's told you yet, or if you figured it out yourself, but for people who will be (hopefully) starting college in September of next year (2016), SUSI doesn't open until the May before we sit the Leaving Cert. I doubled checked with my career guidance teacher, we have another 6 months to go.

    Does anyone know if the revision courses up in the institute are worth it? I'm thinking of signing up for the christmas ones but wondering if I'm better off just revising myself at home.

    I think it's a mixed bag. I'm sure some are good, most of my teachers said not to bother with any revision courses or grinds.

    It feels more like a university when you contrast it with DCU, UCD and DIT.

    The city atmosphere and vibe is chilling in retrospect.

    Just had a quick glance through the site. Honestly it does seem like great value, a concise book filled with English tips and so on.

    Three years in Ireland and she achieved 8 A1s... :o

    EDIT:
    She has a few sample essays on the site, seems like a good idea to pick out good phrases etc and use em.
