    My first thought is why didn't your parents/school counsellor/teachers not notice you were so stressed and/or advise you to pursue the DARE application route or at least attend a doctor/other professional for help?

    Secondly, you don't know how you did until the results are out.

    Have you looked into PLC routes into your desired course? The PLC approach is much more like college than school and many people find it less stressful. Depending on your desired course, you could apply for a PLC and use that route in. If you want to say what courses you are interested in, we can advise as to possible PLC routes into them.

    Anyway.
    Here's the info for DARE this year: http://accesscollege.ie/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/DARE-Information-2018-Web.pdf (.pdf file)

    Not having attended a medical professional in connection with it would be an issue. I can't see whether you can use results from a previous year for it.Someone here might know later, or you could email them directly and ask.

    Going by your post you don't have a diagnosed medical condition. That is a requirement for DARE.
