Ok i know this is an awkward time to be posting questions with all the predictions for the LC flying around the mass cyberspace, but im just wondering what the story would be with doing LC Accounting myself at home?.
I would get grinds reivision books books ect.
Need it for points so would probably be looking for a B1 Higher Level?
Is it possible guys?..
Thanks for replies in advance (if there is any)
Oh PS. Got a B in Higher Level Business Studies Took it up October of 3rd year!
Thanks guys 
business for junior cert was pretty easy. accounting is a tough leaving cert subject and it is difficult to get a b1 in. the stuff is hard to learn. i dont think anyone would be able to get a b1 in it at this stage of the exams. yet it is up to you
Oh no you don't fully understand my situation
Im only starting 5th year in September but want to do Accounting for points at home.
Would i manage a B2 with occasional grinds?
yeah I say you would no bother if you like accounting and have an interest in it, my friend did Economics as an extra subject with revision books and got a B as far as i can remember so if you get the revision books and get grinds then I think you could def get that grade..good luck
[b] Thanks! Do you do Accounting?..
This year is the 1st time Accounting hasn't been offered as a subject for LC in my school!
Is it true that 21% of people get A's every year?? 
ud have to be fairly good at maths nd those type of subjects, cause accountin is a very hard subject unless u are naturally good at that sort of thing...have u a good understandin of business..u wud have to be rly willing to work...!
dont do it! im doin it and its the worst thing i ever did! a few of my friends repeated 5th year because of accounting!!
Thanks guys for replies.
you'd have to be very good at maths and that type of subject
Are the maths required not simple?. Addition, subtraction, percentages on dividends, depreciation?.
And i am doing Business Studies. so my standard of Business wouldnt be bad at all!.
Why are your friends repeating Andrew? Was it because of lack of points because of a bad result in Accountancy? more replies greatly welcomed thanks!
[b] Just got Revise Wise Accounting LC HL- Martina Rodgers an hour ago.
By looking at the Past exam papers i realised something.
If the exam is marked out of 400 Marks, Q.1 Is worth 120, Final Accounts with Some Changes Comes Up Every Year.
Also Q. 3,4,5 Interepation Of Accounts (ratios) appear every year worth another 100 marks.
So if i went to grinds and worked over the summer on Interepation Of Accounts and Final Accounts with Ratios that would mean i could have
220/400 in the Accounting Exam
Which is equal to 55% = C3 in Higher Level
Is Accounting really that predictable?
oh sorry took you up completely wrong.ah its possible but i dont think ppl getting as is dat high. it is very difficult to get an a. well i think it is :Dlol
Thanks for replies, yeah i read it on a supplement that came with the Irish Independent last year. It said that 21 % achieve an A grade in HL Accouting..
If i learned Final Accounts with changes in Manufacturing and Sole Trader and Company and Interepation Accounts (reatios) myself over the summer would i be heading in the right direction to a Higher Level B1 in June 2012? Sounds like a long time away i know 
Also the subjects im doing would not be that difficult or time restricting example
English French Music Business Geography..
Not Doing Higher Level Maths or Irish
Also doing LCVP so i think i would have lots of time to put into the Accounting.
Dont do it, my friend tried to do it in 5th year, and he dropped it last year cuz it got too difficult for him, dooont do it... ITS HARDDDD
and for getting the 220/400, you'd have to get full marks, and getting full marks in the ratios is impossible.
i think you should do ...if you start working on it from now and not leave it till the last months of leaving cert you would totally be able to do get a good grade init...goodluck
Seriously thanks guys i know its a difficult time and all that,
But,, I am going to give it a go..
Im going to go over Final Accounts with changes in Manufacturing, Sole Trader, Company & Interpeation Accounts ..
Any other questions that come up a lot?.
Any other major questions to learn apart from Final Accounts with Changes and Interpation Of Accounts (Ratios).. Please guys i really have to do well in this subject!!
