Marking schemes from tomorrow!??

ninebeanrows

Well it was this Monday (tomorrow) when the Marking Schemes from last year began being uploaded onto the Examinations.ie website, they were uploades as early as 5am, now i won't be waiting up or anything!

But over the coming week we should be provided with a possible insight into how we faired in the LC, before being hit in the face in a mere 16 days time with the real thing.

Good Luck all

Are you serious?
Looks like I finally found something to do!!!
I think I remember enough of my papers to be able to calculate an approximate result for everything except Irish, French and English. The only question now is whether I should or not....

nothing up yet anyway...

I'm almost positive it was the 31st they were uploaded on.

ninebeanrows

Seems like they will not be coming up today.

Yes it was the 31st last year which was the Monday, the 30th was the Sunday so today is the 30th and it is a Monday so basically the same calender day.

Maybe tomorrow !

I'd say it's more likely that the 31st is the standard release date.

Not up yet, although it seems that they uploading them or something. The tab is an option but it has nothing to reveal.

Here's when last year's were uploaded: http://www.examinations.ie/archive/markingschemes/2006/?C=M;O=A


Just looking through the last few years now, though, and it seems to normally be the 15th of August.

Why check up the marking schemes before the result? I understand some people get uptight and like to find out but just wait until the 14th.

I am actually glad these aren't up yet as I would just torture myself looking through each PDF:)

What for?

''What for?''

Damn!!!!

I have hope if not expectation that they will be uploaded tomorrow, but more hope they will be updated next Monday.

I don't believe they are routinely updated on the 15th but good observation nonetheless.

Come on guys and gals, we're finally getting a bit of nice weather - forget about marking schemes that can't change what's done.
Go out and get some air, instead of wrecking your head. Results day will come round soon enough on its own. Plenty of time to look at marking schemes then.

It wouldnt really wreck my head at all atall, just interested in taking a goo at them, sure after the 15th i probably wouldnt even be interested in looking at them,, hopefully

Whats the story with the marking schemes, can anyone think of a good reason as to why they still aren't up??

Mushy

Its prob cos they dont put them up till the 15th, results day.

Hey no they werent all updated on the 15th, all the old marking schemes were put up last year (2006) on August 15th.

Last years marking schemes began to be put up from July 31st

It's probably whenever everything is ready to be rolled out and on schedule that they upload the marking schemes.

Carsinian Thau

I wish they'd hurry up. I need a distraction from the waiting...

Carsinian Thau

They're still not up. Maybe I should just make up my own....

Yeah, sorry, my bad.

And I'd say you're right, they'll go up whenever they're ready. They must not be running quite as briskly as last year...

ohoh that may point to inefficiency!! which is not a good thing...ah im so nervous

Steve01

Or perhaps the examiners are being extra careful this year. Wouldn't want to screw anyone over now, would they? :rolleyes:

ninebeanrows

If they are not out tomorrow, i doubt they will be out until August 15th, tomorrow or Wednesday.
