Oh, that was a long time ago now!
As far as I remember, I needed 450-480 points to get into my first choice, which was marine science. I think I got 485 points, so that worked out well 🙂
The points for science courses are changing every year though, depending on how whether the univiersities and institutes can teach a given course (lecturers and professors move jobs sometimes, and you can’t teach, say, genetics, if you don’t have someone who knows about it!)

how old where you when you when you finished and was it hard to that many points
Ciarán commented on :
Let’s see, I finished the leaving in 1999, so I would have bee 17 years old then.
The points weren’t hugely difficult to get, but I paid close attention in class and worked hard on homework, so I was pretty well prepared for the exams, I think.
