Ordinary level irish....not worth the early morning rise. Unless you are doing HL, then it isnt really worth it. I have got my pass already, thats all I need. I may hang around for 30 mins for this exam, but thats it!!

Any other exam...and I would be up at 4

Haven't a Clue

Pfft. I pity the fools!

I'm only up this early because I'm in serious trouble for Irish paper two. And because I was extra hungry this morning.

I got up at 6 this morning. Learned ALL the Stair na Teanga between last night and this morning. I'm quite proud of that achievement.

Now I just have to bs my way through the rest of the exam.

etc.

30. ****ing. Marks. Thirty.

You'd nearly get that for putting down Pairc an Chrocaigh 3 times yesterday.

True. But the others are only 35 or 40 mark questions too. It's still nearly as important a part of the paper as the rest.

Enemy Of Fate

Thank god I don't have to do Irish.I'd be completely ****ed at this minute.

Last year I did pass....was such an enjoyable exam

I have my home ec paper at 2, set the alarm for 4.25. Woke up, passed out because I'm seriously sick and then couldn't get the energy to get out of bed until 10. Gah! Why am I sick?!

earliest i've got up was at 8, really starting to think i'm not bothering whatsoever.

The bell curve takes no prisoners

genericgoon

Aye this be true. The bell curve shall make mincemeat out of thee. No As for everybody!theres has to be Bs, there has to be Cs even some Ds,Es,Fs and NGs.

So let us hope there are lots of lazy ppl to take them grades and prop us up to As!

cossyx

Ive been up the last three mornings at 5, hopefully it paid off because Im sooo tired now! Glad to hear Im not the only one!:D

genericgoon

Aye this is the CRITICAL weekend where everyone recharges their batteries after the last 3 days. Next week will start with a flurry of activity but by Wednesday evening most shall only have one or 2 spread out subjects left.

The department can only allow a certain amount of people to get As. And by certain amount I do of course mean an exact quota. Any fluctuations in the bell curve could have dire consequences for the land!

Beware the bell curve for it will be the death of many students in August :eek:

genericgoon

Thus the need for those lzy ppl. Next time you hear someone complaining about the leaving cert dont feel superior, you should thank them for they have made your task of getting an A that much easier.

JC 2K3

Argh, not this fúcking argument again.

There's no marking to a curve, the law of averages states that there will be a bell curve and they adjust the marking schemes to make em tougher or easier if too many people seem to be doing well or badly.

Basically, if the results reflect a bell curve, there's a high probability that the papers have all been marked fairly, so they adjust the marking schemes accordingly and aim for this shape of graph, but there's none of this assigning a certain amount of As, Bs etc. and marking up and down at random to facilitate this.

genericgoon

Aye JC i agree but if theres more lazy ppl doing badly then theyre not going to adjust the marking scheme upwardsbut hopefully downwards.

AdMMM

I'd consider 8:45 to be early for me

Lies. They dont mark you on your ability at all. Its all a big conspiracy involving the bell curve

nah staying up late is the way forward, i figure you either go hard or go home!:cool: if the adrenaline of the exams doesnt get you through a lack of sleep then its weird, im getting about 3-4 hours sleep a night, then sleeping for an hour in the evenings and im good to go. no pain no gain!
