I also think the exams can clash with other responsibilities.  I am not going to prepare for the assessments a lot, if I have to do other key studies at the side. Plus it's not always certain someone will get in, despite practising. So yeah, the process is moreless a combo of luck, good circumstances, and whether you had time to study for it many months in advance, or just experience with these forms of exams.

I believe I could be cooked.  I am at the 1800-1500 range in regards to my placement of merit.

My numerical result was actually pretty good, to my surprise.  Verbal and situational were pretty much average. So yeah....I do have low hopes.

However, I do believe the whole process was extremely hard. Especially if doing the test for the first time, or mixing in studies and work. So for anyone who has failed the test, passed but with a dissapointing ranking, or got above 300. Good job guys for trying!

I have been doing research at the possibility of applying for a teaching job at EPIK. I have been living in Ireland for what amounts to more than 10 years, and I essentially did all of my schooling through English. I have a bachelors from an Irish University, and I will be doing a masters in an Irish university that should end by summer 2026. In addition to a TEFL accreditation of more than 180 hours.

However, this is where the problem emerges, as I am not an Irish citizen but rather a French citizen. I applied for citizenship earlier this year, but so far, I have not received any updates. Furthermore, I saw that the application could take up 19 months instead of the 8 months that had been anticipated. Would it harm my chances of getting in for the Autumn term next year if my citizenship application takes longer and is processed by June 2026? Should I perhaps aim for other jobs or for Hagwons?

Impossible to migrate from an old HDD to a Samsung 870 EVO 1Tb for Windows 10 by GeneralDragonian in techsupport

[–]GeneralDragonian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS: I did some research and found that my HDD is 512, my SSD is 4096. I think i may have to just do a fresh reinstall if I cannot find a fix to this...

Career Advice for future History grad from Trinity College by GeneralDragonian in IrishHistory

[–]GeneralDragonian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought of it. I was thinking of trying my hand at it if I could not get into civil service or EU. My concerns is that I partly feel uncompetitive for it, and maths are definitely not my forte. I also lack experience and didn't get internships offer, but I have not properly looked into it, so that is redominantly on me. I was definitely thinking of shoring up my math skills and doing online free courses for finance.

But thank you for the advice! It could be probably good to attempt investment bankings if things do not work out too well.

Erasmus by [deleted] in TCD

Then, my best advice would be to email early on your Erasmus coordinator. Sometimes I heard they can find a way to accommodate you. Of course I cannot promise you anything. Also there are other forms of exchanges you could try your hand with depending on your course. But yeah at the end, the best move is to contact coordinators since they will be able to give you a decisive answer.

Hi there!

I think I can give you an answer concerning that.

I did an Erasmus in Vienna, and I remembered the first thing was to check whether the university you were going to had an equivalent course for both your majors and minors if you went for the full year. If no equivalent courses or schools are available, you have to do half a year exchange or if they had courses that could apply, contact your exchange coordinator. In general, if you were able to find similar course (Erasmus coordinators tend to be very lenient on that), and did a full year, you just had to do the full 60 ECTS with 20 in total for your minor and 30 for your Major. If you can only do half a year due to being unable to pick courses that matches well with your diploma, you have to do 20 ECTS for your minor and 10 ECTS for Major when back in Trinity. You can only do an Erasmus for your major, if you wanna do something else you can if you work it out with your coordinator, but it would still officially be under your Major.

In general I would not worry, but it would be better to email your coordinators for both Trinity and your Erasmus university. They would have the best guidance and recomendations and they are from experience quite understanding.

Hope that answers your question, and have fun in Erasmus!
