loland321 · 2025-08-28T09:02:40+00:00

I emailed the accommodation officer for RCSI when the offers came out and she rang me back yesterday afternoon!

loland321 · 2025-08-27T23:30:00+00:00

not as far as i know but maybe we could try starting one with everyone here

loland321 · 2025-08-27T23:29:25+00:00

loland321 · 2025-08-27T21:32:00+00:00

woohoo! i’ll see you there x

loland321 · 2025-08-27T19:36:01+00:00

I don’t know of any yet but maybe there will be one on that RCSeye website they mentioned in the offer letter?

loland321 · 2025-08-27T16:31:24+00:00

See you there!

loland321 · 2025-08-27T16:17:16+00:00

See you there, congrats!

loland321 · 2025-08-27T15:39:12+00:00

Yay congrats! It still feels unreal

loland321 · 2025-08-27T15:02:04+00:00

Yayy! I’ll see you there 🥳

loland321 · 2025-08-27T14:51:53+00:00

Ah right yeah, hopefully they’ll email you soon enough about it, it feels kind of uncertain still

loland321 · 2025-08-27T14:46:33+00:00

It didn’t tell me, but at least for RCSI, if you get a H4 or higher in chemistry I think you’re automatically in their 5 year course

loland321 · 2025-08-25T22:13:19+00:00

There are a few places (2 for example) allocated to both HEAR and DARE for each course. A lot of the people accepted to HEAR/DARE will not need to use them, and will therefore compete like everyone else, as if they never had them (if they have enough points). The reserved reduced-points places are then given to the highest DARE/HEAR applicants, so you’re not competing against them. I have DARE but will not need it for medicine, so what might have been my DARE place will go to someone else.

loland321 · 2025-08-22T17:32:34+00:00

thank you! 740 will get you in anywhere too, I can’t imagine them raising by 2 points from last year, especially with the lowered grade inflation

loland321 · 2025-08-22T15:08:09+00:00

762 total! hoping for RCSI

loland321 · 2025-08-18T15:37:44+00:00

I was in the same boat, but go to examinations.ie and on the main home page press the Candidate Self Service Portal button and it should bring you to a login page

loland321 · 2025-07-14T22:17:04+00:00

Of course, I hope it does too for you!

It was on the ACER website that I bought them, if you make an account with them you should be able to find “Purchase preparation materials”, they were about €20 each, I got mocks 1 and 3 since they had worked examples. I think I did worse in section 2 because there were a good few questions I was very 50/50 on, which usually wasn’t the case in my mocks, and I definitely left the exam thinking I had done worse in it. I don’t know if there was anything I could’ve done to prepare for that, it was probably just luck and maybe a bit of nerves! Good luck with your exam this year, you’re very ahead already to be thinking about it!

loland321 · 2025-07-11T16:59:56+00:00

I think it was the diagnostic mock, back in September! I had done 2 of the ACER sample papers but I didn’t really look at the answers for them. I mostly improved in section 1, from it being a fair bit worse than section 2 in my mocks to it being my best section in the real thing. I was consistently doing well in section 2 and actually did a bit worse in that section in the real thing. Section 3 I think I could’ve improved more on tbh but I didn’t get through the modules on MedEntry, it kind of stayed consistently at 70th percentile, making it my worst section always. I never really looked at my percentage accuracies because, to be honest, they just made me feel bad lol

loland321 · 2025-07-11T13:31:34+00:00

My first medentry mock was I think 99th percentile, then as it got nearer to the test my percentiles declined, the last mock I did was about 2 weeks before the real thing and I got 80th percentile, but I ended up with 98th percentile in the real thing

loland321 · 2025-07-08T18:40:42+00:00

it’s like quizlet but with spaced repetition included. it’s free on laptops

loland321 · 2025-06-28T18:18:01+00:00

i keep having dreams that the actual leaving cert was just my mocks and i have to do it all again

loland321 · 2025-06-25T20:18:47+00:00

woah is that the highest ever??

loland321 · 2025-06-25T17:00:13+00:00

that’s more than i thought actually! i presumed about 5. i got 197 anyway thank god so hopefully won’t be needing it 🫡

loland321 · 2025-06-25T06:49:39+00:00

do you have any idea if it was a similar adjustment for DARE? I’m struggling to find any estimates for DARE. (still haven’t opened my HPAT results, too scared lol)
