    Dear lord no! Business must have been marked painfully easy - all jokes aside, I was doing outside of school, the grinds teacher was DIRE and I got an A2!!! I am absolutely gobsmacked!

    I thought Geog was fair. English on the other hand :rolleyes:

    i got an A1 in geog, so i have no complaints... :o

    Damn right, sugar.

    Dunno where my Geography examiner pulled a B2 from.

    I didn't get a whole lot of easy markers.

    Biz seemed to be quite fair in my school. Most people who worked hard got what they deserved.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,467 ✭✭✭smemon


    i got a b2 in both. pretty fair tbh.

    they are the 2 biggest bluffing subjects so a lot of people think they know more than they actually do and hence think they've been hard done by.

    I got an A1 in Geography.

    I seriously think the corrector was high when correcting it.
    Geography was the bane of my existence all year.

    got a c1 in bus and a d1 in geog!! gonna have a look @ them esp geog so annoyed over it!!

    I actually thought that Geography was marked a bit hard alright. I did get an A2 but my friend got a B1 and was expecting an A1. She can't figure out where she went wrong at all. And I also felt I was going to get an A1 in it after I had it done. Business was marked easily though. I got an A1 in it, but loads of people in my school who didn't expect to do well in it were coming out with high B's and stuff. So overal I think it was fair

    i got a c2 (h) in geog..was kinda expecting around a B. but i got a d something in my mock so i prob deserve the c. aint complaining!


  • Registered Users Posts: 315 ✭✭Glazun


    Pfft.. I got an A2 in business, highest mark I EVER got in the subject.. o_o Im still very surprised at myself. I didnt even do all the questions, the last few i just wrote down the main points in bullet point... I wonder if I had studied the report would i have gotten an A1.. doubt it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 38 Smurphette


    maybe the problem with geography is that no one really knew what anyone wanted, cos it's the first year of the exam?

    Maybe my vague bull**** was exactly what they were after! lol

    I got a B3 in Geography which I was pretty happy with I suppose. I think the business paper was marked hard... :)

    I got an A1 in Geography...

    saying that, i've always liked it, so it wasn't unexpected.

    What was unexpected was 6 other guys in my class getting A1s too!

    The whole class was delighted with the results, the general feeling was that it was marked very nicely.

    (One guy went from a C3 in the mocks to an A1)

    I gotta get mine rechecked, I got a B1 in the mock (which I did no study for) and a C3 in the actual exam.... which is bollox!

    the second one is the important one there...

    makes a difference of 45 points!
