    The Junior Cert Science course is being phased out and this years 3rd years will be the last cohort studying it. In its place now is Junior Cycle Science. There are some pretty big changes so definitely try and become as familiar as possible with the new course.

    I don't think there were any major changes to the LC Chemistry course. A few experiments are now banned because the reagents are deemed dangerous so they've been replaced with new experiments. They are mostly organic ones I think.

    I responded to your PM. Since only 1st years have studied the new course none of the CBAs have been started as they begin in 2nd year.

    I didn't have any of those exam classes.
