It’s difficult we know and there’s hundreds of temptations like facebook to distract you but get the head down and stick with it. Leaving cert revision, like revising for anything else ain’t gonna be easy but you still have time and you need to manage your time effectively. Find out what the best time to study is for you and put the hours in. Use what other people are saying about what’s coming up in the leaving cert and get that extra 5%. Even if you haven’t done any revision so far you will be able to pass at least two more subjects with a solid revision plan in the next nine days and throughout the exams. Ensure you have the 2010 leaving cert timetable printed off and whatever exam papers you need, switch off the TV and get cracking!
Kinda curious, what are ye bringing in for the exams?
I mean, we start off with English P1, by far not the easiest exam..
Are ye bringing water? I might sound stupid, but I wanna know what other people bring with themselves.
Im scared that my pen will run out or just randomly stop working in the middle so Im bringing at least 3 🙂
Just say whatever you bring. 🙂 For maths, calculator, maths set etc..
I’m repeating this year and last year I had my pencil case, tissues ( had a really bad cold, funnily enough have one now too) water, a pocket thing of vaseline, a watch, chewing gum. You’re allowed bring in food but i don’t think your fellow examinees would be too impressed with you if they hear a rustling in the corner during the exam.. A girl beside me had 2 or 3 packets of polos with her.. Ate them all in each exam… Very very annoying. This year i will be shooting back a red bull before each exam and I will be bringing in a bottle of Lucozade and probably water, tissues (FML), pencil case. Oh and a maths set and a calculator for business, biology and geography (don’t do maths this year :D). Hope this helps 😀 And good luck in the exams x
Thanks a lot. Best of luck to you too! x
Laura, no kitchen sink.. 🙂 only messin… sounds like you’re well prepared.. bet of luck for tomorrow and the rest of them
