Leaving cert maths question? (not homework!)?

For most course you need maths, but 38% is actually a pass, and at ordinary level anyone can get it no matter how bad, just do a bit more work

What you really need to do is check out this site: http://www.qualifax.ie/index.php?option=com_wrappe...

If you search whatever course you are doing then you can look at the Leaving Cert Requirements which will tell you what grade you have to get in LC maths before getting a place on the course. I must stress however that most courses will not accept (although there are very few that do accept) a fail in maths - have you considered Foundation Maths? Most course will accept an A or a B in Foundation level maths...but you should really work on your maths! It is essential for the majority of the CAO courses - it really is not hard to scrape a pass (a D3 that's all you may need!) in Ordinary level maths!

If you fail maths you essentially fail you leaving cert to put it simple because most courses require at least a pass at ordinary level.The same goes for English.

It used to be that way but they changed it about 5 years ago. Before this you officially failed the leaving if you failed maths. If you want to do any engineering course of any sort or science or construction forget about it without maths. But arts degree's and archeology degree's and the like will let you in without maths but your going to limit yourself to what you can do. You should get the past exam papers and keep doing them out and if your struggling get grinds it will be worth it best of luck.

in LIT, if you get on well in everything else they'll give you a good chance
