Can you transfer between courses.

I'm a leaving cert student who's a bit stressed I won't get my top course (General Science GY301) my 2nd option is physics and I'm wondering if I accepted a place in physics can I transfer into 2nd year General science as a Maths Student? The modules are nearly all the same in 1st year. The modules I'd want in General Sci is Maths, AP Maths, Physics & Computing so it's basically the same course in 1st. Anyone know how this works? I seen on their website internal transfers into 1st yr. Not sure if u can transfer from 2nd yr physics to 2nd yr maths. ​​​

What's Plan B if I don't get my course.

Basically I only really want my top 2 courses. I know I definitely won't get my 1st but my 2nd is basically the same as the 1st course with way less points. The 3rd has mostly the same modules as the first 2 but differs in 2nd year. I'm starting to actually picture life on Saturday morning if I don't get the points for my 2nd course. What does one do with their life. I know it's not the end of the world and a gap year and do it next year but damn that would suck. All my friends being in 2nd yr when I'm in 1st. ​​​

Is anyone else deathly afraid of not getting points.

I only need like 400 but I'm still worried I won't get it. I havent really done a lot of study so I know it's on me but I'm still scared as fuck.

Anyone else fucked for Physics and Accounting

I actually haven't done a tap of study for either and I'm genuinely fucked for physics. Like accounting I can kind of bullshit my way through but u just can't do that for physics. I have Spanish as well on Tuesday so I'm kind of fucked. I'm gonna be so happy walking out after that Q9 on accounting though ​​​

How much study do ye do in uni?

I'm a 6th year student right now and I'm wondering how much study ye actually do per day / per week in uni. I'll be studying maths in September. Just wondering how much you should be doin per day in uni to avoid cramming as right now in the middle of the lc I'm cramming everything and I'm planning to never have to do this again. ​

May whoever wrote that section C coding exam sleep on a warm pillow tonight.

Genuinely wtf is that coding exam. I ran out of time just attempting the questions. That's without even getting it to work 😭 ​​

I love maths and physics. I've always said I'll do maths in uni. However I know maths in uni is more proof and shite like that rather than leaving cert type maths. I'm wondering whether to keep Mathematical Science (GY319) first or switch it with General Science (GY301) which is 2nd right now. I know you do a physics module in the 1st year of Mathematical Science but I'm not sure how open it is if I wanted to pursue more physics than maths if I get into uni and decide proofs and that stuff isn't for me. Also my sister did general science maths and said she wished she did Maths Science because they had a few smaller classes together so they actually got to know eachother. ​​​​If anyone has advice I'd love to hear it. ​​

I'm in leaving cert right now and my plan has always been to do Maths in university. However, my sister did it as well and has said it's different type of maths to what you'd do in school as in its more theorys and proofs and shite. I love physics as well and I've been debating which to do. I've put down Mathematical Science 1st ​​​and General Science 2nd but I'm debating switching there positions. I know I can definitely just drop pure maths of it's shite and just do Applied maths and Physics but I'm not too sure if you can do that with Maths Science. Could anyone give me some advice.

Tldr; Interested in both Maths & Physics. Maths Science (GY319) or General Science (GY301) ​​

3 weeks left minus the bank Holiday and Fun Day. 13 Days. I know leaving school is such an exciting thing but honestly I'm feeling quite somber about it. Apart from teachers treating you like your still 13 or learning subjects you have no interest in, school really isn't that bad. Im book smart so I acc enjoy school. I'm feeling somber about leaving this building I've spent so long of my life in, the last 6 years everyday for like 160 days a year. As well as that, the thing I feel like I'll miss most is the npcs that you just wouldn't see outside school. You know those people you talk to and have good craic with but would never see or meet outside school. I feel like when I go to uni I'll miss how personal classrooms are, where u can acc get to know people instead of being in a lecture hall of ≈300 people. Idk I'm looking forward to being done school, the nights out after the lc and ​​​​​leaving cert holidays but still. It feels bittersweet. Anyone else?
