Leaving Cert Please Help Me

I'm frightened I'm not going to get 360 points(I need 350) and feel like there's no time to bring my grades up that much!

The last 2 months I kind of dossed as well as 5th year.

I'm completely unprepared for the mocks especially in regards to geography, art history and biology as Im relying on them immensely for points in the actual thing!

Is it too late?

And do you have any tips for geography and art history in regards to what essays to learn?!

What I need!

English HL C1
Irish OL C1
Maths OL C1
Biology HL B1
Geography HL C1
Art HL C1
History OL B1

Just forget everything that's gone before. Start here and now. Tonight. Those results are entirely achievable with 3 months of good study.

I completely agree. I did the Leaving Cert in 1998 and I would add that the exam is 60% study and 40% how you handle the exam itself. I think that the most vital thing is to actually address the question you're being asked. So many bright people I know spent ages writing everything in their heads about a topic and still managing not to address the question. They only discovered this when having their papers checked later. Time management is also really important. A handy tip is to jot down the points you want to include in your answer, and if you haven't got time to finish these will be taken into consideration.

I wish more people understood this.

When answering a question on the english paper, it is vital to make a plan. A plan organizes your essay and structures it.
