I'm sure you'll make it, just keep working hard
.
Finally, I got most of my results back, i'm kinda pleased and kinda disappointed. Note that I did everything at higher level excep CSPE of course.
English = 72% I didn't add ambition (Highest in Class)
History = 82% (Highest in Class)
Geography = 77% (Highest in Class)
Maths = 51% (Highest in Class and we didn't cover all topics. Kinda disappointed but i'm sure I can get a C at least or maybe a B if the examiner was drunk.) :l
Irish = 45% including listening (Disappointed. I'm sure I can raise that a grade or two.)
CSPE = 86% (Didn't even study.)
Religion = 92% (Highest in class and I didn't even study. :O)
Science = Getting result tomorrow but I hope I got a B, we didn't cover all topics so it should be a B because it was easy.
Italian = 54% including listening (Highest in class. Looked back at the mocks, alot of silly mistakes :l and we didn't cover letter writing, but I got 20/40 somehow. I'm sure I can raise that a grade or two up.)
Home Eco = 67% (Highest in class. Very disappointed, I knew EVERYTHING! Very shocked and yet, I made silly mistakes again ._.)
I'm aiming for 8A's and 2B's. I'll be happy with 5A's and 5B's ... I think I can make it as I only need to concentrate on like 4 subjects. But A5's should be achieveable for me. 0 -

Long time lurker, very rarely post here but decided to share my results so far:
Maths Paper 1- 92% - THRILLED!
Maths Paper 2- 82% - Also delighted as i hate project maths!
English Paper 1- 91%
English Paper 2- 100% - The examiner marked ridiculously generously, 12 out of 24 in my class got an A, whereas in the real thing my teacher told us usually only 2 or 3 out of 24 students get an A! I'm angry as now I have no clue what I actually should have got...
Irish- 85% Delighted as the only A in the class and many girls were crying over their results...
History- 87% despite getting 3/12 in my 2 page long made up essay about the cold war lol, I've realised that blabbing on rubbish doesn't work for history
very happy with my result
Religion- 86% - Very happy again
CSPE- 96% - Delighted, only got 3/6 marks for my poster but caught up by getting full marks on everything else!
Still waiting on French, Geography, Science, Business and Home ec 0 -
Finally received the rest of my results today, I sat my mocks in the last week of January/1st week of February and only now did I get them all back! Did anyone else have ridiculously slow correctors or was it just my school?
I know I posted some of my results because I got them back at different times but I'll just post them together now
Maths- 74% B
English-97% A
Irish-79% B
French-79% B
Geography-91% A
History-94% A
Religion-93% A
Home Ec-92% A
Business-88% A
Science-85% A
CSPE-95% A
So 8 A's and 3 B's 0 -

Wow those results are really good, especially maths, I might be wrong but I think you're the first here to get an A! No one in our whole year got an A either0 -

Wow really? thanks! I think there was one other person in my class who got an A but I love maths, just hate project maths but tried hard so delighted with my result Did you have the mock paper with usain bolt and designing the measurements of a rectangular sim card? 0 -

I call bs
Haha exactly, at first I was delighted but then reality hit me And the irony of it is that these papers were sent away to be corrected, clearly the examiner was useless! Nobody else in the year got 100% but I still think it was too good to be true 0 -

Ya I think maths is my favourite subject, but it ended up being my lowest result. :P And I hate project maths too, it really seems like a stupid paper and the marking scheme is ridiculous too, that paper was the reason I got a B And no, I had a different paper 0 -

Don't worry, my teacher explained to us that if people are doing badly in project maths in the junior cert, they will make the marking scheme waay easier so that on average, students doing project maths will do just as well as students doing the normal maths course over the past few years if you get me. I agree though, and many feel that project maths is more of an english paper than a maths one! Hmm, maybe your mock exam was harder 0 -

French- 76% Would have been an A but got a huge number of questions marked completely wrong (in comprehensions and listening) when I gave 2 details when one was asked, eg. The Question said 'name one subject Flora studies' and I answered 'German and Maths' Both were right, but marked 0 Is this the case in the real thing?
Geography- 79% Happy as I think I had a particularly narky examiner :P Eg. I stated that few people choose to live in forests as there is a lack of fertile soil in coniferous forest, there are often no roads or public transport, and there are very few shops and services nearby. This was marked with a huge X and a comment: 'No, People can and do live in forests and areas where there are no shops, it's a matter of personal preference!' I mean really?! :P I'm talking about the average person here, sorry if I insulted your forest homeplace...
Science- 89% Very happy as it wasn't an easy exam. I studied hard for science though
Business: Paper 1: 87%
Paper 2: 97%
So an average of 92%. Very happy, I enjoy business and find it really easy
Home ec: 93% Happy although I do think my examiner was a little too generous.. However for one question it said 'list 4 influences of a persons energy requirements' I answered 'Climate, Activity levels, Size and Sex' I got sex wrong?! Even though it is clearly written in my book haha
So all in all, 9 A's, 2 B's.. DELIGHTED! 0 -

Really good results but for me, if I had to write every mistake my teacher made I would write an essay xD f.e. my maths teacher gives NO ATTEMPT marks! No one in our year got an A! No one! I'm HL and I got a B in maths, next 3 people got C's and D's, overly 4 people passed, rest of the class failed! Imagine that! My teacher is sooo bad I can't even imagine, and I'm still sad cause I counted up my marks again and I should have got an A in maths but my teacher said the reports were already send out i dont care. I'm not even going to comment on other teachers cause I still got 7 A's so I don't care. I also got a B in French (i only got 2 B's), but I hate french, I learned italian in 1st year and I moved schools in 2nd year, so I'm behind everyone but still managed with a B so I'm really pleased, I'll practice for JC and I'm sure I'll get an A, but overly my schools sucks! Most of the times I'm the only one with an A! But I don't care, Jc is stupid, I want to do medicine and LC is the most important ever so I'll be grand, I'm sure And I'm not even Irish so it's quite hard for me to learn off English sometimes cause I have to translate it to my own language first etc. 0 -

All Higher level:
Tech Gr. 52% Don't really care about this subject so passing is perfect for me :P
German 84%:Was expecting an A so 1% off can be changed in the upcoming months hopefully
Business 79%: Didn't even study as I am continuing with this after the Junior Cert so a B is fine
Science: 53%: Horrible result but I didn't expect much better,I've bought Revise Wise since and I'd recommend it to all struggling with this subject
Irish 80%: As I've been to Coláiste Chamuis twice (also on my recommendations list) I was hoping for an A but Unseen Poetry screwed me over :P Hoping to improve on this for June
English 71% : The biggest shock of them all came here,I average at a C so if I were to remain at this in June I would be delighted,if anyone has any tips on how to answer the 70 marker essays well I'd more more than happy to exchange some of my knowledge in another subject in return.
Maths 53% : I'm hoping for a C in June and I feel this is achieveable but still it's bad to get a D in a subject that is mandatory for the LC.
Geography 87% : My strongest subject and this was amazing. Some silly mistakes in Short Questions will need to be sorted for June but I feel that an A is achievable for me in geography
History 84%;Heartbreaking not to get an A and I feel this result will definitely drop in June as I was jammy enough to have Luther and Columbus come up in the mocks,the only two I know really well :P So a B is the hope here
Anyway if anyone has any tips on how to study efficiently feel free to PM me on this topic 0 -

Hmm, well you know yourself that you got an A Yeah I know the JC isn't important in life but I'm glad we have it- It helps give people a sense of achievement
Yeah I'm aiming to be a vet when I'm older- already booked into 2 vets for work experience in TY next year! My dream job would be a vet in an animal rescue, I'm hugely involved in animal welfare and with animal rescue groups
What worries me is that apparently you need even higher points to do veterinary medicine than human medicine :O
Cool, when did you move to Ireland? 0 -

Got my grade sheet today;
Art: 80% (Ok considering I didn't know we were going to be graded on anything :L)
Business: 85%
French: 88% (97% in the written, my aural brought me down: 83%)
English: 86%
Geography: 78% (slightly disappointed as I usually get an A; but I shouldn't complain because I didn't study)
History: 95%
Irish : 83% (so close!)
Maths: 65% ( Hope I can get this to a B; maths and I aren't the best of friends)
Science :83%
Cspe: 90%
Religion: 98%
So, 6A's, 4b's and a C.
Hopefully at least two or more of my high B's will be A's in June and my C in maths will be a b :L0 -

Anyone got any advice on what to study for the exam as I work so hard for this but it was my lowest mock result! I try to learn off eachtras and the poems/short stories but I really struggle in unseen poetry/story and comprehensions!!?
Yeah, my teacher said that the unseen stuff is generally where most people struggle. We had not practised any unseen stuff so I was unprepared; but surprisingly I did pretty well. I think the trick to it is to have a really solid vocabulary, and underline the key phrases in a question. It doesn't really matter if you don't understand every single part of a question, as long as you understand key words.
I read them once, then read the questions, underlined important things and then went back and underlined in the text.
I suppose it can be compared to French, where most of the exam is about applying your built up knowledge in a different way. Don't worry too much though, you have plenty of time to practice these before June. 0 -

This is the best way to answer any unseen on english paper 2 higher level:
Unseen drama; 30min
-5mins to quickly decide A or B by seeing what questions are do-able.
-7-10mins to read questions FIRST and then mark the extract.
-Spend 8-10mins (2-3min per paragraph plus re-read) per question. If you want a A, add an extra paragraph.
-The quicker you decide which extract and the quicker you mark up the extract, the more time added to writing the answers.
Basically the same thing with Unseen poertry and fiction, only add an extra 2mins to marking up and an extra 3mins to answering. Time is important, if you exceed the time, quickly finish what you're doing and write a conclussion. Hope this helps!0
56%.:D
