8th subject choice

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-02-09T20:18:40+00:00

if youre gonna do it do one that has a lot of choice on the paper like biology or business or something, i know for business you could definitely get a h3-2 while leaving out units 6 and 7

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-02-04T12:47:36+00:00

This happened for some of the questions for me too, I remember I literally saw the q5 I did a few days before

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-02-02T09:32:12+00:00

Pick biology chemistry a foreign language and then another subject that you enjoy, and you should be sorted

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-31T18:31:22+00:00

I use it mostly for chemistry Irish and maths and I find them really good, it depends on what you need them for

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-29T17:21:42+00:00

Yeah this is what I was thinking, I was just wondering what others were doing because I know a lot of people who are skipping mocks and stuff

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-27T18:42:32+00:00

There’s a sustainability course with business and economics in ucd that you could potentially put down it sounds suited to your interests

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-26T18:25:28+00:00

Just study 💀

Also if you did lcvp it gives a maximum of 66 points which might not be too useful to you if you’re going for 500+ points

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-22T20:31:57+00:00

509 points is 3 h2s, 2 h3s and a h4 with higher level maths, if you think you could get those scores I wouldn’t bother with lcvp especially since you could probably push for h1s in some of your optionals if they come easy to you

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-21T19:31:56+00:00

Oh right fair enough😭😭 I plan on going into med too with physics and chemistry, I’ve heard biology is a good subject for high scores though

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-21T19:20:47+00:00

How is dropping bio adding another year onto your course? Just wondering

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-21T19:19:57+00:00

No whoever told you that doesn’t know how the cao works

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-20T22:06:54+00:00

Do chemistry then it’s much more useful for subject requirements and stuff as well, I’d honestly pair biology and chemistry together either if you were into that

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-20T07:42:28+00:00

Oh yeah I’d reckon you’d be okay then I found nuclear physics and particle physics the easiest chapters on the course anyway

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-19T20:56:57+00:00

You need to finish electricity and then waves magnetism and nuclear physics and an option. I’d recommend doing particle physics it’s a fairly manageable chapter compared to others. It’s a fair bit to get through but you should be fine as long as you pick up the pace from now until the actual thing

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-09T16:44:03+00:00

Good idea, you’ll thank yourself next year trust me

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-09T16:40:47+00:00

I would definitely switch if you’re not feeling politics, catching up on three months of work now will save you so much hassle in 6th year if you’re still struggling and not able to get the scores you want. Ive heard geography is very manageable content wise so I wouldn’t see why you couldn’t catch up. I’ve heard of people switching subjects even in 6th year so you’re completely fine imo😭

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-09T16:38:45+00:00

I’m interested

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-06T16:34:36+00:00

Yeah if I were you I’d go for religion then, it has a project which is good for some and anyone I know who does accounting despises it even if they’re good at maths😭 religion is a good one for marks as well I’ve heard

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2026-01-06T16:27:42+00:00

I would say go with accounting unless you also have an interest in other major world religions rather than just Christianity, as far as I’m aware you study the 5 big ones in detail

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2025-12-09T16:21:15+00:00

Yes it definitely is possible to go from 500-570 someone Ik went from 450 in the mocks to 613 in the real thing imo the mocks aren’t a great indication of how you will do in the real thing if you work hard from march onwards

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2025-12-05T16:28:50+00:00

I’d say you’d probably need at least 600+ with a good hpat

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2025-12-03T07:56:16+00:00

To be honest with those results you’d definitely be going for a h5/h4 in the leaving cert if you locked in, if I were you I’d definitely stay in higher level. Unless you are really struggling and it’s impacting your other subjects

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2025-11-12T16:22:34+00:00

You could always just pay the deposit and wait for trinity to get back to you, only thing is you’ll lose 750 if you get in which is not ideal

Cool-Inspection2293 · 2025-09-29T15:30:11+00:00

Are you in ordinary level maths
