    No, 515 looks brilliant. You'll just clog up the system for those who desperately need to appeal. By all means, look at your papers, but unless you're a few marks short..don't bother.

    Does anyone think its worth getting stuff rechecked for the sake of appearance on your CV? I have the points i need by far (got 515 needed 315) but as it will be the only "degree" I will have for the next 4 years, would it be worth trying to go up maybe 15 points to look better?

    Not just for me but for other people who could be in a similar position.

    Damn right, your more then entitled to do so.

    I think im going to agree with corruptedmorals. I will get them rechecked, however, if i can get 560 points, but going up 45pts will be nigh on impossible.

    I'm probably getting Maths rechecked (got an A2) and Physics (C2). Hopefully I can get up to 400~ pts.

    All this talk of rechecks is total bullsh*t right now. I don't know what I'm getting rechecked until I have a look at the papers next weekend. Its impossible to know that you should go up a grade when the grades are so specific(B1s, A2s etc)

    If I look at my music, I can work out the percentage I got for my practical. Just interested to see how generous they are. It would be great if they told you in the results in the first place.

    Yep. I was on for an A2 in French, but wound up with a B3.

    I was an A1 student through all of 5th and 6th year and got an A2. Not disappointed but my teacher said I should definately recheck it. I was quite surprised because the tape, oral and reading comps were simple.

    I'm gonna view the all but it's looking likely that I'll check Geography Economics and French. Can't understand my Irish, don't know how English can be corrected like. Was surprised with my Business result to be honest! But if I'm 1/2% off a script I'm probably gonna get it checked for the hell of it anyway.
