Junior Cert and Leaving Cert students do not need to memorise many points on the unit circle because they are given on page 13 of the Formulae and Tables approved for use in the state examinations. However, if you can do so easily it is no harm, and can be useful in that it will save you time looking it up in the booklet. Here are the links to two useful videos on the unit circle.

Remember: 1/√2 is the same as √2/2. Got by multiplying above and below the dividing line by √2.
