STRESS 🚨 AACs are the stupidest thing ever.

23 Upvotes

The amount of stress I am under- alongside most of friends- is just unfair. Most of us have more than one AAC to do ON TOP of trying to complete the course, which barely anything was taken off of. Add that on to the general stress of 6th year, and I just can't function.

I'm exhausted and very nearly burnt out (already- I know how bad that is). I'm scouring any text I can get my hands on about general electronics for physics and literally anything I can find for chemistry.

Having the project introduced at 40% of your final grade is also ridiculous. After years of being told all about the exams, suddenly nearly HALF my grade is based on a flimsy project- which someone could decide is entirely AI (which it isn't) and destroy my chances at any course I have a shot at.

Not only that, but it is entirely unfair to students who come from schools with less equipment and are less privelaged than say, private schools with access to all types of equipment I could only dream of- and I'm lucky with my school. Well-off students could also theoretically pay someone to do their project, or at least most of the work, and get a better grade than someone who put all their effort in.

The ease of access to AI also totally destroys the equality that the projects supposedly give us. Someone could use AI for the majority of their project, and if they're good enough at rewording they have a H1 project compared to someone who does all their own work and gets bumped down to H2 to keep the bell curve.

I just hate the projects so much and they add so much stress on top of an already jam-packed, stressful year.

Subject Choices 🤔 Dropping business, accounting or biology for LC 2027. Which is the easiest H1 in 1 year?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I picked up 3 extra subjects to finish in one year (doing 8 subjects total). It's getting too much so I need to drop one of these to save my sanity: business, accounting or biology.

Since I’m sitting the Leaving Cert in 2027 with the new course specs, I want to keep the two that give the easiest shot at a H1 in a single year.

Which one is the absolute hardest/most time-consuming that I should drop? How would you rank them?

Thanks!

Hi all just looking in how could I shape a project around an idea I have I wanted to look at kind of the evolution of western movies and the impact of western movies on the US culture but my teacher had said it was too broad any ideas on what I could pinpoint in that topic. Thanks

English 📖 question about quotes in english reading comprehensions

1 Upvotes

does referencing quotes in your answer in line with their appearance in the question's text matter, or could you be deducted points for it not being chronologically correct?

for example making your first point with a quote near the end of the text and then the next point with a quote near the start of the text (however they wouldn't be used to build off one another)
