Question: How long did spend studying for your leaving cert?

Probably not as much time as my parents or teachers would have wanted. I spent a lot of time getting very very good at playing Freecell on the computer.
I didn’t love chemistry as much as physics maths or biology, so I spent a bit of time studying that and got an A1. I didn’t try very hard at physics and maths (because I was good at them, I didn’t think I had to), and did less well than I was hoping to.
