If sure, select two subjects from one group. 5. There should be continuity from Junior Certificate to Senior Certificate. 6. Check out subject requirements for 3 rd level.

STEPS FOR SUCCESSFUL SUBJECT CHOICE CONT. 7. Remaining subjects should be selected from those which will maximise students’ points and in which students have an interest. 8. Students should enjoy and participate fully in the subjects they have chosen. 9. Speak to subject teachers who will explain about course structure and content. 10. Talk to fellow senior students- borrow some notes and textbooks to see what lies ahead!
