Irish anyone?

[bluejeans]

I'm Irish and I live in the Republic of Ireland. I'm currently doing my Junior Cert exams :/

Good luck, I'm doing the English equivelant, the friendly GCSE German, Maths and Biology. (there the only subjects that I haven't done the exams for yet!)

Thanks, same to you :) I've Maths Paper 2, CSPE, Business Studies [Paper 1 & 2], History, French, Science, Religion studies and Home Economics. I'm not finished until Friday. xD I only started Wednesday though.

How were the exams you have done? :]

the ones i thought that I'd fail were actually ok, the chemistys hard though but the grade boundaries are really low. (around 20/55 for an A) In my English lit we had actually done one of the questions in class! I don't finish untill the 27th but I only have 4 exams left... I'm on study leave so I can skive off on my bithday!!

Oh that's good :] Our English was suppose to be the easiest papers ever to be in the JC. So if I do bad that must mean I'm awful at English xD

When did you start?

[meowool]

I started the terminal exams (I'm the last but one year to do modular stuff, so I can retake exams that I took earlier) on the 15th of May. You can't be worse than me! I failed my English language twice. (If you do GCSEs then you take English language and English Literature.)

Your system is quite different then ours in the ROI xD

I think I at least passed my English, I don't mind as long as I get my honor [C and u] so I can do Higher level for the Leaving Cert.

There are no public schools in Ireland? In Germany are several schools which cost no money. I just can't afford the knowledge in math that we need to go to high school in my country. Everything, but just neither math nor physics. My dyscalculia is seriously killing me.

Yeah there are public school's in Ireland, it's just until you've finished the equivelant of the Abitur. I know for A-levels. (if you were goin somewhere in Northern Ireland that is.) that you don't have to do any subjects that you don't want to, any combinations. (although if you do Pysics, they want you to do at least 1 year in Maths) But the down side is that you only choose around...4 subjects in your first year then 3 of those in your second year! XD

I'm just really afraid of the prices and the question where I would live. :(

Anyways, Ireland is playing against Spain this evening, I cross my fingers that Ireland will win <3

There are public schools in Ireland, but I'm not sure about colleges.

Oh, I forgot about Euro 2012, even though a comprehension about it came up in my Irish exam ^_^'
