View more pollsPoll: Do you remember how many points you got in your Leaving Certificate?
EARLIER THIS WEEK, a new study revealed that performance in the Leaving Certificate was a strong indicator of how a person would do in college.
The final school exams are a rite of passage for a huge number of Irish people, although most don’t exactly have fond memories of studying for them.
In fact, many people often like to forget about them as soon as their results are in, although for others, their results are something that will always be stuck in the back of their mind.
So we’re asking: Do you remember how many points you got in your Leaving Certificate?

Larry. Remember the guys called the Northern Alliance. The same guys that toppled the Taliban. The same Northern Alliance previously known as the Mujihadeen who the US armed.
The Taliban were the brain child of the Pakistani Intelligence Services. Who thought they would be able to control them. The US had no hand in arming the Taliban.
Mick are you still denying the FSA who the US has now committed to openly arming, has cooperated on numerous operations with Al Qaeda/Al Nusra?
Mick Jordan .. FSA are head hacking terrorists that have been exposed by the alternative meda since this conflict started. Blood shed caused by these terrorists have wrongly been blamed on Bassar Al Assad. http://s29.postimg.org/sq3o1tkyf/Rebelsgg.jpg
It will be interesting to see if the US government will be supplying the head hacking rebels with the same modified Toyota Hylux jeeps that they have been supplying ISIS with. BTW these Jeeps are not sold in Iraq never mind being specially modified.
