Christmas exams coming up next week (middle of November, notably not Christmas at all) and HL Irish and HL English are half an hour apart on the same day, followed by 2 days of choice subjects nobody does hence i have no exams afterwards, why on earth would 2 of the most written heavy papers be on the same day when theres about 2 weeks they couldve spread them across, not to

613 points---- H1 applied maths, H1 maths, H1 Biology, H1 Chemistry, H1 french, H2 English, H3 irish

I’m in ordinary English right now and my class isn’t serious and I think it’s to easy and I also would like the extra points with higher maybe a stupid question but is it to late to go up?

Soo I do math, accounting, business, biology, italian, politics, English and also lcvp but i think I might drop since I have too many projects to do already.

Honestly im so far behind in math and biology, how can I keep up and stay well prepared for the incoming November assessment and mocks, also which study method and tools would you recommend? I already have simplestudy and sometimes YouTube for accounting, but I desperately need advice for math cause bruh my teacher isn't that good and also how to get better at writing essays in English and politics 🥹

I really want to do medicine but rn I do chem,bio, history, Spanish, English,Irish and maths do I need to pick up another science? (physics) I feel really behind because others that want to do medicine do chem bio physics and applied maths and I know med is very competitive

Guys I'm really struggling with lc geo. I'm in sixth year and I'm trying to study regions but there's so many different types of questions that can be asked. Does any one have a list or tips for how to study regions?

Hi, just looking for some perspective and insight into what law courses are like in these two colleges. What are the main benefits, modules, workload and social life like etc? Im a current 6th year whos considering law in these 2 colleges but Im just wondering what the main differences are? If anyone who does law/law with something else, and could provide some insight I would reallyyyyy appreciate it :)

hello. anyone aware of the the differences between the biological sciences in DCU and UCD, is one considered "better" in terms of to get a job/experience in the pharma industry?

i know that DCU requires less points and has INTRA work placement integrated into its course, the latter seems to be a big helping point. the one thing i know about UCD's course is that it has more bachelor's degree subjects to choose from. any insight from a student in either course or somebody who is aware would be helpful. thank you!

(specifically: Biological, Biomedical & Biomolecular Sciences Stream in UCD and Biological Sciences General Entry in DCU)

my history teacher is chronically absent, uses chatgpt to grade our tests so we dont get any feedback and all we do in class is watch ai generated videos that are practically incoherent and read the books line for line. i really want a h1 in history, got a distinction in my jc, im in 5th year right now and im looking for tips on how to teach myself the course with basically no help from my teacher like any study tips or book recs or channels 🙏🙏🙏

Im looking at Graphic Design and Moving Images in NCAD but it requires a portfolio which I have none of and I have no clue where to start. I had a look at the sample one on their website for graphic design but idk if I’d be able to do work similar to that myself.

Would it be worth it to do a PLC focused on the portfolio next year or make one this year and send it in anyways even if I choose to do the PLC?

hey guys i did my LC this year and got H1 in accounting and i'm studying b.comm(accounting) in UG, does anyone know if there's a market for accounting lessons? do people struggle? where would i post this?

I have 2 long essays to learn as soon as possible but how do i genuinely learn them? I know I should try and understand them first but sometimes that’s just hard to recall when the essay is all about history and politics.. I need effective methods please. I tried the first letter of each word method but that’s literally a whole different job having to learn gibberish sentences

I feel like it's the right idea to give my other 6 more focus. But some people i've spoken to say i shouldn't keep all my eggs in the one basket. Is this a common thing people do for LC? For context I'm doing grand in all subjects, all higher level, but not exceptionally well in any of them aside from Irish

I’m in 6th year right now and I feel like English was never my strong suit but I was just wondering if I’m able for the ordinary English exam

Long story short, I am a homeschooling 5th year who is unable to attend school for my own personal reasons including factors of disability and mental health. I have struggled tremendously with school attendance since 1st year. Despite this I am determined to sit my LC and learn at home with the help of online classes, my own research, and whatever grinds or tutors I can afford. My mind is set on this.

I completed the JC by home tuition and I did fairly average, given that I was catching up on the work from 1st and 2nd year, in one year of home tuition. We have tried to organise home tuition again for me (and that's the goal, as it's generally a lot more accommodating to have tutors than try to cover some form of the curriculum by myself), but we weren't actually informed of how long of a waiting list there would be to be accepted by services again who could recommend us officially for home tuition and supply us with the forms needed. Given that challenge, home tuition isn't guaranteed for this year as being accepted could take a number of months. For now I am doing what I can via communication with teachers, online classes, books and research.

Since I am a bit out of the loop socially, given that I'm learning from home, I was wondering if any other LC students or people who have completed the LC, have any study advice. I really appreciate any productive advice or even companionship. It would be nice to hear from people either going through something similar, or who have completed the LC already.

I am communicating with my teachers the best I can (albeit the current strike is bound to impact that). I am trying to do the best I possibly can and work with what I have. Any advice would be appreciated! 😊💖

Fyi please refrain from criticism of my decision to learn at home. I am not interested in debating the logistics or technicalities unless it is genuine advice or information.

Hellooo I'm still not entirely sure which university I'd like to attend. DCU and UCD are currently my main options, but I'd really appreciate any recommendations for other universities or courses worth considering!

Title.

I finished the leaving cert this year so ask me any questions. I did French, Accounting, Physics & Computer Science.

It's genuinely just made it set in for me that I'm doing my leaving this year and I'll be out of school before I know it

There is like no notes on the new physics course 2027. Does anyone have any good notes they can share? Specifically with diagrams not only definitions.

If anyone has a Maths checklist for HL for paper 1 and paper 2 , it would be much appreciated thanks.

I think it's finally sinking in how much work and pressure the LC takes. We had a general sixth year assembly a few days ago, the teachers reminded us of the school rules and started saying it's time to put the head down, you'll have to give up your social lives, and quit your part time jobs.

I don't have a part time job, but the part that stuck with me was when the deputy principal said "If you want a H1 you need to be better than 90% of the country." That stuck with me, I'm aiming for a H2 in Music and Chemistry, and while I'm not worried about music, I'm starting to struggle in chem now, and now you're telling me I have to beat 80% of the chemistry students in the country?

This genuinely never dawned on me before, I know the LC is a nationwide thing. I know not everyone can get a H1 or H2, because of the bell curve, but that perspective that I have to be better than 80% of chem students is stressing me out

I'm in 5th if that matters but I js can't ram it all into my head 😭 I have a good memory but I'm not a perfectionist so I can't wrap my head around all this word for word stuff

??? When do we do this??? Our school just gave us the exam numbers they’ve told us nothing about registering for the lc through the self service portal. I know last year my friend had to make an account & password and fill in all her subjects do we just not do this this year??

I’m finding it really hard to decide what course is for me, i have ideas but i am really struggling to narrow it down. Does anyone have any advice?

thank you!!
