Study Shark Blog #2 10 Things I wish I knew This Time Last Year for JC

Bonjour mes amis. Our second blog comes from Katie, who sat her Junior Cert in June this year. I love Katie’s social media accounts – a mix of lifestyle, study, fashion and beauty.

Study Shark Blog #1 The Set-Up to Study Smart

To kickstart our Study Shark Blogs let me introduce you to Sean. I’m his number 1 fan! I met him on SC through bants and chats and he attended our LC Dublin Workshops last year (H1 in French of course!). When he obtained 625 points in the LC last year I knew we needed his brain! He agreed to join our EF team and take part in our Dublin Workshops this past year – sharing his tips/tricks to study at the workshops and in our exclusive FB live streaming as part of the workshop programme. We are thrilled that he is taking part again this coming year.

Timing of the Leaving Cert Paper – here’s what to do!

It is vital to get the timing correct for this exam – as it is very tight!

A 2 and half hour exam – once you get the paper – go straight to the written questions and make your selection! Selecting the wrong question could ruin your exam – so please take the time to do this! Do NOT attempt a question that you do not FULLY understand!
