Needless to say, my grades suffered and I didnt get the points I wanted to do midwifery so I went back. Not a hope was I willing to take the places I was offered because I reeealy wanted my first choice. </p> <p>I repeated 09/10.. Although I got a B1 in english in 2009, I still dropped it due to the massive amount in the course. I took up Home Ec and Business instead.. having never taken them before. Got a B in both in Higher Level. The other repeats took up ag science- which they claimed was a very easy honour to get.</p> <p>I am now in NUI doing midwifery &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>I hope it works out for you, really I do. Going back to school is certainly not an easy option. All the best... </p> http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/topic/14351#post-74773 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 10:39:30 +0000 blabla 74773@http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/ <p>Hey Nicola,i presume your teaching business to im repeating this year at home by myself an am basically studying business from the book 21st century business by willie murphy! i had him last year as a teacher and got a c1 in busineass after picking it up within the year but breally need a higher grade this year would u have any tips on how to study business or would u advice to study from a different book???...</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/topic/14351#post-74770 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 14:20:55 +0000 nicolacrowley 74770@http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/ <p>can u not get a teacher to help you?it is possible to do the course in a year with the right type of mind set (ie try to skim down topics to what play to your strenghts ie theory or maths) and set aside time to study as if u had economics in school. give urself realistic goals. i am a teacher who is currently doing it as an extra subject with two leaving certs and if u wanted help (grind or teacher in subject) im sure you could get some. where are you based and i dont want to assume you do, if its in the cork area i could help?</p> <p>Thanks and best of luck,<br /> Nicola </p> http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/topic/14351#post-74769 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 22:22:01 +0000 Legion 74769@http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/ <p>repeating and my school doesnt teach economics but i do business so i would say it should help me some bit!!any help is appreciated:D </p> http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/topic/14222#post-74450 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:40:25 +0000 Ki 74450@http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/ <p>Hey thanks for your help... By the way xoxkxox I'm a girl lol but don't worry i'm not offended engineering is a real lads thing lol!!</p> <p>I'm planning on repeating in Rathmines which does it as a repeat course they don't do engineering or construction studies (which i got a B in last year) , they seem to just do the learning subjects which don't include practicals, they do home ec though so could take that up, they don't do ag science either.</p> <p> There was another subject which i seen but rathmines doesnt teach, its new in the last few years, technology, which i feel i'd ace without even studying (from looking at exam papers online lol) but i know theres a project to be done, does anyone know anywhere around dublin meath westmeath that teaches this subject ? </p> <p>Only prob is i dont want to be taking up aloada subjects i didnt do before but its looking like i'd have to if i'm repeating.... </p> http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/topic/14222#post-74378 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:36:11 +0000 xoxkxox 74378@http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/ <p>oh sorry didnt see you were doing geography...you can take out a subject so!! </p> http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/topic/14222#post-74377 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:35:05 +0000 xoxkxox 74377@http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/ <p>Hi,<br /> I also repeated this year. To be totally honest if i knew what it was going to be as difficult as it was i don't think i would have repeated. personally found it very hard with my friends being in college living it up and me stuck in a grind school 9-9.</p> <p>Obviously you really want primary teaching and i think the only thing that kept me going this year was that i had a huge chance of getting the course i want. So if you have really thought about it i would say go for it!!</p> <p>Subjects wise, I did irish french bio business home ec and ag science. I dropped english in october as i found the new course too demanding to do in one year. </p> <p>I would definately say do 7 subjects because you'll be needing around 500 points. If you have a bad day in one subject at least you can make up for it.</p> <p>Your obviously mathsy! I got a d2 in ordinary level last year so im not one to talk about it but i hear higher level takes a lot of time and its risky. A lot of my friends had to repeat for failing honours maths. You know yourself tho if you'd be able for it. I dont think ordinary level maths would be much good points wise. </p> <p>ok so you have to do honours irish to get the honour for primary teaching.<br /> I would say go for applied maths and physics from your engineering experience.<br /> There is engineering as a subjet for leaving cert too....not sure if the school does it tho.</p> <p>I did business, Had a great teacher but personally hated it, I found it boring but all you have to do is learn it and there is a good bit of general knowledge too.</p> <p>I would def do biology!!! I got a d1 last year but i was a waster last year, I worked this year and it was actually my best exam so far. the same things come up year after year...so i would go for it.</p> <p>If your doing biology then i think ag science is a must. You do a project which is 25% and is out of the way in may. It over laps a lot with bio so i wouldn't recommend doing one without the other together.</p> <p>I would say leave out the german...at the time of your orals it'll be easier for you to just have irish and concentrate on it as you need the honour.</p> <p>So what subjects i have said so far are IRISH, APPLIED MATHS, PHYSICS, ENGINEERING(if they do it) BUSINESS BIOLOGY AG SCIENCE.</p> <p>Thats 7....if they don't do engineering then i'd consider home ec....I know your prob a boy but over half my class were boys. Again you have a project worth 20% which is out of the way by halloween. The only difficult side of it is the nutrition which over laps a little bit with bio.<br /> Then there is consumer studies which over laps in areas with business and then there is an elective of like housing design (not too sure what they call it) or social studies. I did social studies and it was simple....could be made up.</p> <p>sorry I went on for ages. Have a think about it anyway and good luck. I think anyone who has the will power to repeat deserves it!! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/topic/14222#post-74375 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 17:06:04 +0000 abc567 74375@http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/ <p>I'd say definitely try leave out biology..was getting A1s all year round but only got a D1 in the mocks...in the middle of the exmas now and the biology was a nice paper but still pretty hard! it was basically swallowing the book and spitting out on the day! </p> http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/topic/14222#post-74371 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 15:09:51 +0000 Alejandro 74371@http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/ <p>The Irish couse is changing to though isnt it </p> http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/topic/14222#post-74364 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:02:30 +0000 kiwi98xxx 74364@http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/ <p>hey, i done the exact same thing as you! Was sick in my original leavin '08. Done a year in college and deferred my second year place! Just in the middle of my LC exams now! I want to do teaching as well! You're dead right, I'm so happy i did it!! But i wouldnt recommend english as a repeat..you'll have to do a whole new course! Ag science and home ec are a good idea as they have a project! And ag science isnt that bad if you have done biology before! But the oralsa are stressful! I went to a school with a special repeat programme, it thought the full two year course in 1 year, my guidance consellor advised not to go to a normal school at all! Plus there was 100 repeats in my year! I would recommend irish grinds as i found it hard to get back into it after the year off!<br /> If you have any questions leme know! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.allhonours.ie/answers/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p>
