Thats me exactly. Start of the summer, I was sure of getting my course. I've now dropped about 70 points and resigned myself to hopefully getting my second choice. It sucks!

It's worse getting results second time around then the first time...

you can only really get results dats pretty much it.... u cant send your scripts to be rechecked, cuz u have to dere to view them and sign them off to be rechecked....

Tbh I don't understand hwy people do this at all. If you are worried about your results and do badly you have to stand there in front of everybody all upset. But if you are excited and do well you have to contain it for the sake off all the people on the verge of tears who did not get what they wanted.

Online all the way as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah God forbid people express emotion in front of each other.

I'm going to go to school with my friends to get them. Tbh I don't understand why you wouldn't. You've spent 6 years with these guys working towards this moment, and you want to collect your results on your own? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Of course people will be disappointed, people will be happy, but I don't think I'll be happy when I'm older looking back at the moment that I click on a page on the internet in the silence of my own house.....no matter what results I get.

Right probably not the right thread to scare people but if you fail 3 subjects do you fail the leaving and then have to repeat it next year or whatever?

Bull absolute bull.

I was away until about 5 days before them - didn't think about it till I got back. Nerves never really happened.

I went in with my mates, but not for 9am.

Nothing to be nervous about lads. Chin up.

I think to get the actual Leaving Certificate you need to pass 5 subjects, but whatever, that's not important.

You'll get a statement of results in August no matter what and what's important then is whether or not you meet the requirements of your course.

I think for an Irish IT you need 5 passes, and you need 6 passes including 2/3 HC3s for an Irish university. I don't know what courses you're interested in. It's really up to you to find out what the requirements for them are.

And you don't have to repeat under any circumstances.

Well you don't have to do the Leaving Cert, so you never have to repeat it. Whether you should or not is really down to yourself.

Well, take the junior cert for example. I was very happy with it, but a friendly was really unhappy with his. And I didn't want to make him feel worse by dancing in his face. Also I can remember walking past people getting other results (can't remember which) , with girls crying and the like. I'm pretty confidant that I'm gonna get what I was aiming for, I've pretty much already calculated my results too, so it's not such a big deal for me. So in the interests of being sensitive to other people (and I'm pretty sure there will be a few upsets) , I'll just get mine at home.

Alternatively, something could go horribly wrong, and I could end up being all depressed surrounded by a bunch of people, and I prefer to be on my own when I am unhappy. But maybe I'm just anti-social :P

I think I did 'fine', as in landed the points I need and isn't every other one just lovely too. Saying that- I know some of my mates will be distraught, and my own head can play games with me regarding how I did. I think the best thing to do is collect them, wish everyone all the best, head out to the car with the aul' lad and open them there.

Best of luck to all here by the way.

Opposite for me, the more time that passes, the better I think I've done (denial, I'm in it). This time five weeks ago, I was sporadically curling into quivering foetal positions at the thought of my screwed up leaving cert. Today I'm going to Trinity. This time 19 days, it's back in the foetal position.

Reganio 2

Nah I am not nervous about it, just last night I had a crazy dream where I had failed 3 subjects and was told by a mate I had failed the Leaving....... Serves me right for eating cheese before bed I suppose

tasha1

Anois.. I am scared

titan18

I'm terrified.I just want to get it over with.

andrew

Well, at least if I don't do well I have Muse to cheer me up!

I'd get mine online but they're not up until 12pm. If I thought I'd be able to sleep until then I'd get them online, but I doubt I'll be getting much sleep at all that night.

Great now i'm crapping myself. August 13th i hate youuuu!

rm_2008

philologos

Wouldn't you not need to accept your course when the CAO offers come out on the 18th?

Cokehead Mother

You can accept online, and you have until the 27th.
