Hello stressed ones!!

!!I did the Leaving Cert last year (2011) and I’m currently on a gap year. I got the elusive 600 points and I thought I’d join this site to offer my advice to those taking on the LC this year.

I got inspired to do so watching those dudes on the Late Late talkin about how they got really high points! I’m also thinkin about sellin my LC notes, where should I sell them??

The subjects I got A1s in were Irish, Biology, Chemistry, Music, French and Ag science. I also got an A2 (Honours) in English, (I did OL Maths so I’m not really much help in that department.:P).

The first piece of advice I’d give is to get a study diary! Every day when you get home from school write in all the study you intend to do for that day. It’s the only way to always keep on top of what study you’ve done and what study you intend to do. If you don’t get around to doing something mark it in for the next day, that way you never leave out any crucial work that needs to be done cause you have a record of it right in front of you! Also, having a list of work that needs to be completed in front of you really gets you focused and motivated!

I’m open to any other questions from everyone anyone who wants advice.

Good Luck!

Hey Guys,

So the mocks are next week and iv been doing 3hours evening study.. that’s homework included,

I am having regular meetings with my home.ec teacher and geography and its helping a lot considering my home ec teacher should not be teaching and i didnt do geograpthy last year,

You never feel like you have enough revision done and chapters not learned off by heart but im making it my goal to wake up every morning and picture me studying my dream course in Trinity Dublin. I think its working and slowly but surely i feeling more and more confident about each subject, positive thinking is the key..

Try it it worked for me .

Alright, im new to this blogging frenzy so this could be a tad awkward.

What i want to know is how much time i should be spending on study in fifth year? Like every school, the year is filled with people who do their work and others who decide to do nothing at all. I attend a supervised study after school but all i get time during it is for homework. Should i be doing another hour when i get home to reivse?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions ( if any ).
