When to start Leaving Cert Maths grinds

There's no perfect week to start Leaving Cert Maths grinds. A better test is whether your child is still stuck days after the class, and whether the shaky topics are starting to drag down the next chapter.

Start when the week is already slipping

If a homework question stops them on Monday and the next grind isn't until Saturday, the week is gone. 5th and 6th Year families tell us this more than anything else. Adding another hour won't fix it. Help between lessons will.

The mocks and the real exam show up the same gaps, just too late to do much about them. Starting in 5th Year, or in Transition Year at the level they'll sit, leaves time to rebuild their algebra before the papers pile up.

Which group to join

The Higher Level groups are split into 5th Year (Transition Year Higher students are welcome) and 6th Year (Repeat Higher welcome). Ordinary Level 5th and 6th Year learn together, and Transition Year and Repeat Ordinary students are welcome. Book a free grind and we'll find the right fit.
