Blogwatch: Exam chat from students on the message boards

We pay a fee for the LC right? I wouldn’t mind paying that fee four times if it meant we got continuous assessment.

Bullet Points, Bullet Points, Bullet Points. Take everything you can down in summarised Bullet Points. Worked for me in the mocks, got an A1 in Higher History.

I’m sick of all this. I just want it to be over. I’m going to Berlin directly after the exams and I’ve found myself thinking about that more than the Leaving Cert. I’m just done with school, I can’t wait to be out of there. It’s all boring me at this stage.

The system is the biggest load of horlicks too. There’s no way I’m gonna get what I need to get done in either English or History. There just isn’t enough time, so it’s not even a true reflection of how good someone is at a subject, it’s just a test of how quickly you can recall information. Complete joke.

I wish all history could be 20th century American history . . .

So, basically I had a great plan of ALL that I was going to study and, as per usual, I haven’t done a damn thing!

If the Leaving Cert was a person, what would he/she look like? If you’re stuck, come up with something imaginative and you might just make the person marking your paper smile enough to give you a pass.

I for one am not worried at all, sure I haven’t studied as much as I could or really should, but now I just really want all this Leaving Cert business to be over with.

Like I feel no pressure or anything, I’m more just annoyed that this is taking so long. And how can 2 or even 6 years worth of work really be justified in 2 or 3 hours of exams?

Im gonna just go over the bits I need for the next few days, then have a frantic study session at the weekend to cover everything else.

I had the weirdest dream last night about English Paper 1...it was in the form of the History exam and I had to write about Beyonces contribution to Lady Gagas Telephone video.

I think I aced it

Im actually happy its here to be honest, cant wait to get it over and done with.

Although saying that I cant sleep, kept waking up every hour last night

Best of luck ladies and gents. Dont think of it as one huge thing. Just think of it as one paper at a time. Its less daunting that way.
