I wouldn't worry too much. The JC in reality is not a hugely important exam. I can guarantee you no-one's going to take you the back and shoot you if you don't do as well as you hoped.

Stress can be useful in exams as a motivator but only if you can strike a good balance. It's important to keep on top of your revision but if you donâ€™t relax a little it will be very hard to do yourself justice (and at the end of the day thatâ€™s all you want to, or can do).

If I were you I'd look at the JC as a dry run for the LC.
You'll learn good things about how to manage your time and get good practice in the art of taking state exams (which can be a very different experience from your normal class ones).

Good luck and just think soon it will all be over! :)

Ps.. Just remember exams are not the be all and end all. English was my D-day subject. During my GCSE years I couldnâ€™t pass an exam to save my life and was regularly in the bottom 5 in the class. Nearly 10 years later Iâ€™m still around to tell the tale! No exam will ever tell you how intelligent or capable you are.

Sshhhh! It's Podge and Rodge

It's about as significant as a fart in a force ten gale.

Well you passed them in the mocks so i expect ull do even better in the real thing. I didnt do great in my jc mocks even failed some but in the real thing i passed everything was delighted. I think the mocks are a bit harder than the real thing so i think you should be grand.

I'm doing it and I'm briking it!
That's really good!!!! My lowest was 43% in higher maths lol! My highest was 91% but it doesn't really count because it was CSPE!

Don't feel like your under pressure, that's what people tell me the whole time. The odd time that I do it it actually works, I really ahve to start doing it the whole time now, I find I do better if I don't feel I'm burdened.
Yeah, business for me is shiote. The theory is ok, just accounting!:( I'm basically screwed!!!!

Maths & Irish...Hrmmm. Well what I do for Maths is I get a 'revision copy' and write out formulas etc in it. And when I'm in class I start with the harder questions. If I can do the harder questions then I can do the esaier questions so I don't waste my time so I can move onto something different and be ahead.

With Irish, just write out a load of essays and learn them. Get your teacher to check them out. And know your pros&filiocht. Practice your comprehensions so you know words that come up alot etc.
