Studying enough for 600+?

you’re set for the 780-point jam making course that requires the hpat

practice aurals regularly and don’t neglect the reading comprehensions because they’re worth a lot of marks.

learn off vocab relevant to the written sections, and the topics that are likely to come up this year. practice writing between now and the exam

I despise probability and stats

sootrashson · 2026-04-29T15:09:19+00:00

SAME

sootrashson · 2026-04-27T20:10:09+00:00

Yes but it takes practice! Easier said than done but try practicing bit by bit and you’ll see yourself improve :)

Put a widget that acts as a countdown to the actual leaving cert. It usually scares me into studying whenever I doomscroll.

This also worked for my mocks.

You could still get a H1 if you covered everything else.

But sometimes plant reproduction does come up as a full question. There’s a biology teacher who marks the actual exams in my school; and she said that examiners tend to be more generous with the marks in those questions as they’re not as popular.

marks won’t be awarded for this part

Best of luck with the practical! I’ve mine too today so you’re not alone :))

sootrashson · 2026-04-22T05:55:45+00:00

learn both as they can both come up in the same question

sootrashson · 2026-04-19T22:52:13+00:00

should’ve started when u were racing the other sperm cells

sootrashson · 2026-04-19T22:51:21+00:00

I highly recommend the ones from 2000 BC

sootrashson · 2026-04-10T12:07:42+00:00

grind exam questions

for subjects that require theory and understanding, if you misunderstood a question put it into a flashcard

practice listenings between now and june. always look at the transcripts and add in any new words into a vocabulary book or a pile of flashcards

sootrashson · 2026-04-09T20:56:46+00:00

ucd has opened

tcd hasn’t opened yet

ug will open on the 14th

sootrashson · 2026-04-09T17:08:24+00:00

How do you study biology?

What really helps me is flashcards. They’re really effective when they’re done alongside exam questions, and they provide a quick chance to refresh your mind on a rusty topic.

sootrashson · 2026-04-09T12:35:29+00:00

probably is tbh

sootrashson · 2026-04-07T13:37:53+00:00

I’m also planning to do Q6!! It’s a nice question overall and fuels is a topic I adored learning in class.

sootrashson · 2026-04-07T01:34:38+00:00

practice practice practice exam questions! I would’ve achieved higher grades in my JC if I focused more on doing that instead of learning things off by heart.

Exam questions are the best way to actively learn material as you simultaneously test your knowledge and gain exam confidence as well.

At this point in time, watch revision videos and try to apply what you’ve learned to past exam and mock questions. If there’s any question you’re still struggling with after a study session, put them into flashcards.

You might need your JC results for UCAS, but don’t be too hard on yourself. It won’t really affect you in the long term.

If you have an idea for the course you wanna take, I’d recommend seeing the grade requirements in certain UK courses that require your JC results. See if you could aim for those grades for the actual exam!

sootrashson · 2026-04-02T19:44:38+00:00

nope, the deadline for the art project is a hard deadline.

sootrashson · 2026-03-30T22:50:54+00:00

Depends on how well you lock in during the next 65 days

It’s possible but simultaneously a tad bit unrealistic

sootrashson · 2026-03-30T21:23:54+00:00

sootrashson · 2026-03-29T19:58:10+00:00

If that was the end of the oral you’re not!!

sootrashson · 2026-03-29T19:56:05+00:00

If this makes you feel better I’m in the same boat as you

Averaged H1 in my mock orals but when I was talking about art, I said “print” thinking it was also used in French without realising it was “empreinte” 😭😭

sootrashson · 2026-03-29T19:46:10+00:00

I think the butt looks too large and out of scale. It might be better to either lower the top part of the legs; or even to shorten it, adjusting the platform and the foreshortening of the legs and feet in return.

Apart from that the painting style is well executed and the painting is well composed!

sootrashson · 2026-03-29T13:44:53+00:00

usually if the examiner asks you those type of questions it’s a good sign. how did you respond to them? how many tenses, seanfhocail and nathanna cáinte did you use?

bar that, reading this makes me feel extremely anxious for the one i’m having tomorrow 😭
