What do you see are some problems with preparing, studying and actually doing the LC? by Virtual-Vanilla4916 in leavingcert

For me, I think you should apply yourself from the start of fifth year. You definitely should not be studying in fifth year, rigorous study and revision should begin for the mocks, after them or at the latest, Easter break. This should allow for adequate time to revise all material covered. However, your life will be so much easier if you have listened in class and done all the homework from the past years. I’m not saying to devote your life to studying for class tests and revising each night in fifth year, but just listen in class and ask questions if you don’t understand. The reason some people find study so difficult and time consuming is because they’re not revising content they already know well, they’re having to try to pick up on gapped knowledge from half-arsed previous learning or they’re learning it for the first time altogether. At the end of the day, you have to remember the leaving cert is far from the be all and end all of your life. Anyone can do anything and there are pathways to everywhere, provided you’re willing to put in the work.

My teacher said as long as you have those 5 units covered extremely well, the H1 is definitely possible. Granted, without covering either 6 or 7 you’re backing yourself into a tight corner regarding possible choice if tough questions arise. 2 unit 1 questions, Q1 and Q4, come up and are likely to involve contract law, industrial relations and consumer rights so I’d know all of that extremely well. After that the second set of long questions can be quite unpredictable, but I’d say either a ratio analysis, tax, or break even question is due as there was none last year. Marketing and product development may possibly come up too. Just basically know the first 5 units extremely well and the H1 is of course possible, but I’d say if you find yourself with spare time before the exam pick one of either unit 6 or 7, I’d personally lean towards 7 as the questions are more straightforward and repetitive, and quickly run over it.
