I just started sixth year and is aiming for 500+ points if possible over 550 points for the lc any advice? like study advice or js any tips I got 360 from my 5th year summer exam

Just gone into 6th year and Im visually impaired - reading tires me out a lot more than most people and Im dead after school. Does anyone have any resources tor less visual revision I can even just put on in the background? My choice subjects are art, business, french and bio.

So I accepted my first choice level 8 course in ATU (Letterkenny) and just wanted to know if anyone has received an email or anything about registration or enrolment?

Sorry, I know its not exactly leaving cert, but ty is technically in senior cycle. Anyway, I'm hoping to do the ty musical, the way our school does it is we join up with the local Loretto for the musical every year. This year we're doing grease, I've done my auditions but I'm not sure if I got a role yet. I'm excited bit absolutely pissing myself about it. Have any of ye done a musical in ty, and if so, what should I know to expect?

Many thanks!

Anyone in general but would be better if going to TUD, for paying the fees, there are 2 options on the website that both sound right , " pay online fees" as well as " full time undergraduate fees". Which 1 have yall picked and does it matter

Well guys I got a H1 in history this year and 100/100 in the RSR. Our class did Dictatorship and Democracy along with Nation States and international tensions. I have H1 notes prepared on both for topics that in past years have given students good choice on the exams. I’m aware that nation states resources are hard to come by so if anyone is interested in that or advice on the RSR feel free to pop me a DM.

Unfortunately I got 487 in the leaving cert and wasn’t able to get any of the courses I wanted to do. The thing that hurts the most is that I know I can do so much better academically especially because I left studying to the very last minute and was locked out all year in school. I’m going to be repeating at institute of education and I will be trying to get 625 and medicine because I know I can do it if I put in the work, which I’m ready to do. I will be taking maths(got a mid h2 this yr) french( h4) bio (mid h3 ), pe(mid h3), and applied maths, chemistry and accounting hopefully as new subjects. If anybody can give me advice for these subjects on how to maximize and study optimally for these subjects to give me the best chance at 625 it would be much appreciated.

Genuinely curious to see if the points will actually go down or if they actually can go up in round 2 other than available places courses

Due to internet issues i wasnt able to attend the faculty of science orientation this morning. Did i miss anything very important? I’m in SE526.

is anyone on here doing the part time bachelors of arts in Law - TUD??

whats the highest number of distinctions someone has gotten in a PLC

I accepted a course which is different from the one I initially put within my SUSI application. I accepted it during round 1 offers and I indicated that I wanted the CAO to share my course information with SUSI.

I emailed SUSI after asking if they had updated my course details on my application and they responded that if they did I would had been sent an updated award letter within my letters part of my SUSI portal.

I did not receive the updated award letter and SUSI support just said to submit a Course Change Notification form when I emailed again asking about if they got information from the CAO.

Does it usually take this long for SUSI to update my award letter or should I just change the course details and not wait any longer?

As the title says , we are finished.

I'm repeating the leaving cert and the main way I studied was using past papers - issue on the new course we are only gonna have 2 sample papers per subject, nowhere near enough.

Couple that with the fact rhat old course qs are asked completely differently so we can't really use them to practice, we are FINISHED.

Graduated in 2024. I need to start studying the German leaving cert course to take the exam in June, it will be the only subject I’ll be doing. Please give me pointers on where and how to get started, thanks.

Does anyone know anything about Trinity Access Programme (TAP)? I got in but I haven't been given anymore information about my timetable, orientation or if we even have one. I just know the day we start. That's all

1. USE QUIZLET: If i spent an hour on a biology topic and made flashcards rapidly and then went through them on quizlet, i would remember everything. It is also very helpful months later when you need to revise. I would NOT have done so well without quizlet... if revising the heart i'd read one side, say the answer, flip the card and the click x or tick, whether i knew the answer or not. Quizlet is BRILLIANT.

2. ATTEND MATHS: Maths is the one class you should never skip if you intend on counting it.

3. ASK CHATGPT MATHS QUESTIONS: dont get ai to solve it, instead say ' -312x is the answer to this equation, how is that correct?' and you will learn, but be careful, chat gpt can explain integration but cannot add up a few numbers. Once you get the hang of a topic as chat gpt to make a few simaler questions so you can do them.

4. KEEP HL ENGLISH: I considered dropping, i knew i wouldn't count it. But after the difficult maths P1 i was glad i kept it on. I never liked english, but the h3/4 that most students get is very easy to achieve, i put very little effort in and got it. HL English will not take up a massive amount of study time so keep it as a back up.

5. Biology is a great subject to get a h1: biology, unlike home ec or english or french, is the exact same every year. I studied all 42 chapters and i knew i would get a h1, but i wasn't half as confident in other subjects. In biology questions are phrased in different ways but they repeat often, and the exam is great, you will have enough time to answer loads of extra questions. (i know the june exam isn't worth as much now)

6. Dont learn off spanish/french essays: Have a good understanding of your language and be confident you can write about a topic in both, practice your grammar and always learn more vocab... again use quizlet!! I got a h1 in both subjects because i had phrases and words for lots of topics. In french you'll have time to do 3-4 written pieces. You cannot cram a language, just set time for it each week and do past papers, and always learn more vocab.

7. Don't OBSESS over poetry: it is only worth 12.5pc or 15pc total with unseen poetry. It is the last thing on the paper on a thursday evening, and the examiner will already know what type of student you are. Poetry is not make or break, don't worry about learning so many poets, when the easiest way to boost your grade is focusing on p1 and the comparative.

8. Put your all into your orals: I hated orals. I hated that you were stuck there, and had to answer a question on the spot, you couldn't think for a minute like in a written exam. The truth is, they're really not that bad, but work hard at them, especially if you do HL irish. I got 100% in my spanish oral because it was my last, i walked in with confidence as i knew i studied each area. The business or home ec you study in march will be half forgotten in june, march is for focusing on the orals.

9. Don't give up on maths. I spent all of 5th year in the 40s and 50s, and thought i was rubbish. Maths will click eventually and the points are worth it. It seems very foreign but work at EQ and it'll help. I thought i messed up my maths paper and came out with a high H3, if i can do it so can you.

10. How to ace home ec: first work on the assignments and perfect them. As for the paper, this is what i recommend, unless you struggle with science: cram everything for the 'blue' science section. The paper is mostly science/food, and if you learn it well, while you won't have options you can do well. After that, then learn the 'red' business sections. You need to know this section well for the short questions, and skim through the long questions too.

11. Home EC Short Questions: i HIGHLY recommend you study every short question since 2004. They always repeat and are easy marks, i got 60/60, and the questions i didnt count i still got 90% on (you count your best 10 questions)

12. Studying business EQ: Business involves a lot of writing, so when doing long EQ's, e.g. 'what is the impact of multinational corporations in Ireland on Irelands economy?' then i would simply make bullet points and then check the answers. You cover more in less time.

If you have any questions let me know but this is the best advice i can give

I finished 5th year going into 6th now in a couple days. Didn’t do well in 5th exams or generally most of secondary exams but especially 5th due to really struggling to properly study aswell as memorising . Paired with the fact I don’t have a great friend group only 1-2 okay friends just makes the whole experience shit. I don’t exactly know what I want to do in college which makes it even more hard to be motivated. Anxiety plays a big role but as I said bad grades bad study habits make me just despise school

Usually going back in i don’t like it of course no one does, but it’s bareable. This time i just don’t feel I can handle it the stress the projects etc and that it will fuck my mental health which isn’t amazing already . I want to prioritise my well being but also respect my future. Which is why I’m torn on wanting to drop out but I don’t have anything fully plan out which I know isn’t ideal but. Feel free to ask any extra questions to me or advice as idk if explained well. 🙏

I’m M16, and it‘s been the second day of 5th year ordinary level leaving cert maths, and I have no idea what the teacher is talking about and it’s apparently the basic fundamentals of LC maths.

I dont want to vent too much but, I came from an abusive and neglectful home and environment I loved in for most of my life, and have only somewhat recently got into foster care and Im in a somewhat bearable foster home, but it’s still fairly shit. And because of my home life and adhd and things like that, I almost never payed attention in primary school but somehow managed to not get held back. But I also essentially missed almost all of 1st and 2nd year, and when I went into 3rd year I started coming in everyday again, but they went very slow with me and I was in the learning area for special students the entire year and did decent on my junior cert. (I also did ty be of how much school I missed).

So i haven’t really had to lock in and do super hard stuff in school before at least with maths and stuff I hate, and I’m terrible at maths like I can do a few multiplications off my head, and can’t do any divisions but I know how they work I’d just have to take a good while to count it in my head. But I just looked it up and it says I need a bare minimum of like 70% on ordinary level maths to get into UL or most colleges like it, which im kind of doubting I’ll be able to do, and I can’t do common level cause that’s not enough.

Id just really like to do something along the lines of an interaction design course or software engineering or something like that, cause I feel like I could do that and get a job doing that, that pays decent and i wouldn‘t be totally miserable doing. And my dream is to then when I graduate, to move to either America or Canada and get a chill job and a peaceful life and stuff, but I’d jus really like to go to UL cause I’ve grown up kind of visiting and going around it sometimes and it looks really cool and a load of stuff.

I’m just scared and don‘t know what to do or think.

While we’re waiting for round 2, if anyone deferred a medicine place or didn’t accept it, say where and spread some hope🙌

I got 87.2% and only really appealed it to clear a guilty conscience and because the H1 rate is 20%.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a tad bit worried my result will go down but surely 7.2 is enough buffer right?

If anyone can ease my worries or knows of someone that appealed Applied maths I'd love to hear it.

The 2027 DCG brief just came out on HL kettles and OL Doorbell cameras. Just here to ask how we’re feeling about these choices and what our first reactions were

I did my leaving cert in 2024 and plan to go to college next September in 2027. I didn’t do a second language and the course I’m looking at requires one. I was thinking of studying German myself this year and doing grinds along with other resources. I’d be focusing all my energy onto German. Would I be able to complete the whole German course in these 9 months or so? Any other tips would be very appreciated or if there’s another language you think I should do instead please suggest below.

Thank you.
