    Hello, 
    I am a 5th year student from Spain, this year I have been doing TY and I absolutely loved being in Ireland so I decided coming back next year but the thing is that I am doing 5th year in Spain and next year I will be doing 6th year in Ireland. The school I am going to next year said that is everything okay but I am still scared if I would be able to catch up on all subjects in one year. For the LC I will be doing maths, English, biology, Spanish, economics, business, and geography (all HL but English). This year in Spain of this subjects I just have Maths and Economics, but I have done biology and geography all my life so I have a very good level at them. I already started studying something of business but I will study over the summer. Do you have any suggestions or could you explain to me what you've  learnt in 5th year?
    Thank you all :)

    The Leaving Cert. is a two year course.

    Have you checked that the syllabus in Spain is the same as that in Ireland? I would be very surprised if it was.

    There are some differences in subjects such as geography or business but others like maths are the same things and I think that in Spain the level is even a bit harder. Thanks :)

    I think most schools would enrol you in 5th year for a Leaving Cert. even if you have 5th year done in Spain. Ask them.

    I sent the enrolment form to some schools and 2 offered me studying there 6th year and the headmaster said that they could do that for me. I’m just a bit worried about if I would be able to study 5th year in a few months before school starts for 6th yeah, this just would be in business, geography, English (ol) and biology(revise everything I already studied in Spain) and if my English level would be good enough to face the leaving cert

    You will need to find out what they covered in 5th year and cover it yourself.
