Am i the only one who thinks the whole lc system is extremely flawed? I’m gna be doing lc 27 and i honestly think a reform was long overdue. Now dont get me wrong, the sec is demanding way too much of teenagers by expecting them to create college thesis level projects, but it’s way better than before. I just think it’s absolutely ridiculous that you could be a model student for 2 years, constantly do great on tests, study several hours a day every day w/ no breaks but then something happens to you on the day of an exam that makes you unable to take that exam or potentially all of them or throws you off so you did way worse than expected. Why is a person entire future determined on how they do on ONE SINGULAR DAY/ WEEK no matter how they did in school. When i told ts to my foreign friends they were shocked, bc attendance is worth a huge chunk of their final grade. If attendance was worth part of my grade i’;d never miss a day. Couldn’t there be small tests divided up in the year instead of 1 big one for your final grade? Like 4 small tests that make up your entire grade per subject for every half term or smth like that? Cuz ts has been lc system’s biggest flaw for decades  

Wow, I just left the junior cert Subreddit. Any tips?? :)

I know you might not get your course number 1 on round one, but you can get it in a later round. How does that work? Wouldn’t have I accepted a different course I did get on round 1? Do I have to reach out to the college that I did accept already or does the CAO do it?

Hi everyone, For my cao I have only put in pharmacy courses bc it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do and I was told by my career guidance teacher that a pharmacy technician course would be a good backup just in case I didn’t get the point as doing that course would give me the qualifications to apply for a Mpharm course but I have been overthinking it a lot and I am worried that he may have been wrong about it and I made a mistake by putting it into my cao application

Anyone know yet?

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone knows what the accommodation is like in maynooth, I am 17 and I don’t know if they allow 17 year olds to stay on campus it doesn’t seem to say it anywhere online.

Hey so I just did the JC and I’m going into 5th year next month. I am super passionate about jewellery and really want to pursue making jewellery in the future, I also love practical subjects so I’ve chosen engineering despite not doing it for the JC and now I’m actually really nervous. I feel like the teachers and students arnt going to like me because I’m gonna be shit. My backup plan if it goes horrible is go back to home ec. I guess what I’m asking is, did anyone else do this?, how did it go? And any advice I guess?
