Yes, the Irish lc does follow a bell curve distribution and the higher level courses are fairly difficult. We also have to do more subjects which means we aren’t study specific subjects at home like the 3 or 4 in A levels.
I guess every system is different. With other uk universities with A*AA requirements, the lc equivalent is always 2 H1’s and 4 H2’s
Queen’s gave me my offer, even though I wasn’t predicted a H1 in chemistry as with their requirements.
You’re right, I need to just focus for now and hope for the best. Thank you!
