    I can't say I'm looking forward to applied maths.

    It's my last exam and my 8th subject. So, depending on how things go for chemistry on the Tuesday before, I might have no motivation to study for it, as I don't actually need it very much.

    Saying that, it's not the subject/paper I'm dreading, it's just the 3 day build up to it when everybody's finished...

    I'm with you OP, haven't done a bit of French since the orals. For some reason, though, I'm not dreading it as much as I should.

    I'm dreading history more. The course is so feckin' big and I've only two essays done at this stage. Have to do a couple this evening which will subtract from maths/Irish study. Also have history the same day as French! :mad:

    Maths 2 won't be fun, at all. And I'll need to do well to make up for the epic fail that was paper one.

    Other than that, dreading Tuesday, purely because it'll be a very long day and studying for it will be hell. Irish 2 AND Business on the same day? Who thought that was a good idea? :confused:

    Can't say I'm looking forward to French either...

    Not learning at all - Lithuanian, Russian and French :D. Well, last two I'll look over, hopefully.
    I usually do some revision just a night before the exam, to refresh my mind, so :).
    I still have seven exams (Maths 2 and Lithuanian on Monday, Russian and Business on Tues, French on Wed, Biology on Thurs and Accounting on Monday again :(:()

    Exactly the same situation, although I definitely will be needing the points.
    All my friends are going to the prodigy the night before aswell, while I stay in and study..... woohoo! :mad:

    barely done any History at all so pretty screwed for that. French, I think I'm just going to drop to OL. Didn't really get along with my teacher who I felt was a bonehead and just basically made me dread the subject as a whole. I used to be good at French too :( got a B in Hons in the JC.

    Geography is the only thing I'm good at.

    But it's my own fault for not studying enough. With English and Maths it's more about ability, but with History, Chemistry etc. I didn't do enough work

    There's quite enough of people doing Russian. Half of the girls in my school who are doing Russian this year are not native speakers. I'm ok with Russian language, I have friends from Russian (or other Slavic) speaking countries. Anyway OT :pac:.

    At this stage, History without a doubt.

    (I'd also say Higher Irish but I've accepted the big fat C that's coming to me at this stage :p)

    I think history because its a nightmare trying to cover everything, and thinking that some of the quesitons might be niggly and specific. Okay... Documents, European + American history are grand, but Irish history for Buddha's sake... I just start reading something it's Zzzfest.

    I think we should be allowed choose whether or not to do Irish history. It's so boring!

    My WW2-related questions are going to be riddled with "early 1940s", "mid 1940s", "around the same time", "late 1940s" and "sometime later".

    DCG, My teacher is part of t4, so we did the pilot project last year (took 1/2 the year). The real project this year. We only finished the course two weeks ago or less. The Dept. only has the pre paper (which is too long) and the sample paper which is also too long.
    STRESSED

    My teacher told me never to worry bout dates, just make sure your question fits in with the asked timeline and its fair game. I've never used dates apart from one or two important ones(est of republic etc) but he always gave me good marks so you'll be grand:)
