              combinations have been made, you will then be asked to choose a final 4.
 
          !
              If you are interested in a particular course for further education, make sure to check the
              requirements as some courses have compulsory Leaving Certificate subjects that you must

          !   sit. 
 

              In general, it is a good idea to choose subjects that you are good at but having an
          !   interest is important too.
 

              Speaking to teachers and students who already study the subject will give a good
              indication about what is expected in each course.
