Shyster

Hey
was just reading in the other thread about counting down the days to the leaving, and it looks like people are pretty far apart in age when they're sitting the exams.....
Its news to me, cos my year are all the same age so just wondering-

what age are you?!

I'm not doing the LC this year but... I was 19 the year I did it.
Damn stupid mandatory transition year, just ended up smoking wacky tobaccy for the entirety of it. Complete and utter waste of time..

Means I will quite likely be 28 leaving college if all goes well and I go on to do a PhD.

17! it sucks when so many of your friends are 18!

I was 17 and a half when I did it last year. It's great cause I'll be a fully qualified pharmacist when I'm only 22 (all going according to plan!). I skipped TY cause it would have done my head in, I preferred academic study and exams to projects and stuff.

I'm 16, and I'm one of the old ones in my class!

Yes, since we still have the good looks AND are able to get 560 points on our mocks!

I'm 18 (last october..), I'm older than a lot of my friends, but pretty average for the whole year

Did TY also (compulsory in our school)

Don't tell me there's 15 year olds doing the Leaving?

Shyster

actually thought you weren't allowed do the leaving at 15....?

As long as you're 16 by September, you're fine.

19, the joys of repeating the LC while all your mates are out getting pissed... :rolleyes:

*Angel*

I turned 18 two weeks ago

randomfella

cannibal ox what course u going for? Must be worth repeating for.

Repeating would be so hard for me because there are 2new courses : geog and history, and slight changes to irish. I've always said i'd rather get my first choice or repeat but after all the hard work another year just seems too much.

Shyster

dont think i could repeat..can you do the leaving as a mature student??thatd be me!

MicraBoy

I turned 17 the week before my Leaving. That was 10 years ago. Just look how far I've come. Oh bugger.......
