QI want to do the best Leaving Cert I can do. I did not do a lot of higherlevel subjects for Junior Cert. Which Leaving Cert subjects are easier?

AIt is a myth that there are any Leaving Cert subjects that are easier than others. There are not! There are some subjects which, statistically, deliver more high grades than other subjects, however this is not because they are easier. If a student chooses to do a subject based on these statistics, they may find they perform very badly in it. However, Leaving Cert subjects differ greatly in the learning styles, aptitude, and skills required to be successful. The best advice I can give in trying to choose Leaving Cert subjects is pick the ones which you find the easiest. This will be based on how you like to learn (e.g. project work or memorising), what interests you and what you are good at.
