My tip, do as well as you can in the Leaving, but don't push yourself, it's not worth it. After school go travelling for 5 years to get a bit of life experience, think about what you want to do with your life, come back at 23 or 24 and you have your pick of courses as a mature student with none of that points nonsense.
As for the Junior Cert, guarantee the first thing all those teachers telling you how important it is will be the first to tell you how the Junior Cert doesn't matter a bit now it's done. They're right on it being a nothing exam and they shouldn't lie in the run up to it. It's just a trial run for the Leaving, that's all. Good luck all the same![]()
