I started my fourth-choice college course this week, but it’s not what I want to do. I want to try my hand at three subjects in the November Leaving Cert exams to see if I can get additional CAO points. The fact that there was no financial charge made it an easy decision for many of last year’s sixth year students. Given that you probably haven’t looked at the Leaving Cert course content since early May, when the August exams were abandoned, it may seem like a big ask to revise all that content again now alongside your new university course work. Afterall, given present Covid 19 restrictions, you probably have little else to occupy your time.
