Did you not like the LC? Dublin has a place where you can study A levels as well.

It's more that my family moved over and I didn't have much of a choice.

Oh, did you do the JC? How are you finding the a levels, is there a difference between Irish and English education/exams?

I had moved here before taking my GCSEs so I hadn't done the JC. From what my parents have said about the differences between the two, they find GCSEs to be a lot fairer to kids but I can't really say much about that.

I wouldn't say there isn't any big difference in course content but the way in which exams are structured in the UK is far more favourable to the ones back home and a so I'm a bit lucky in that respect.
