395


Gutted that I was just away from the 400 marks, but it should be enough for my course which is all I really cared about....getting 400 or more would have just been a nice addition

And a general thankyou to the boards.ie community, especially the leaving cert forum, for making the year a lot more bearable

Yeah definitely. It was good just even being able to read about people who were going through the same thing as me when I felt like I was on my own

lols that Laura Brady still didn't quite get what she wanted.
And shes appealing her b1 in Geography. 3rd year running.
madness that a person would waste 3 years (+ the 5th year) which is about 50% of the best few years of your life, wasted on a leaving cert.

Hope that everybody is happy, but if you're not don't worry, theres a lot of great options open to everybody.

515- Bio-chem in UCC here i come!! Anyone surprised with chemistry?? I was expecting an A and got a B2.

Really pleased with my A1 in English though!!!:D

I was also sure got the A1 in Chemistry. Only got an A2. Not musch of a disaster, but still curious :P

Well, 540 for me. Very happy. Thot that 550 was the beast that i could have possibly done at the start of the exams, so i obviously had a good gauge on my abilities

A1s in Biology and Spanish

I suppose there comes a time to give up, and maybe it is time for her. After 5 years of direct lc study, if she cant get into her course she should re-evaluate her goals.

*belle*

600! :eek: Was pretty shocked....but am so happy!:D
a1s in phys,chem,bio,ag sci,irish,business.......a2 in maths

PrivateEye

We had one 600er in my year, local paper showed up to take apicture of her......

Me and a mate said 'nah shes gone home, want one of us instead?' and he took it :pac:

Spotlight well and truly nicked.

lols that Laura Brady still didn't quite get what she wanted.

Ah thats 'jelly and icecream' news that is.

Been grinning like an idiot all day. Guess I didn't go down from my mocks.

Now I'm going to merge the results threads.

Well done again everyone! Even if you didn't get what you want, still go out and celebrate, you've had a tough 2 years.

I woulda been more impressed with 595 tbh ¬.¬


Well done everyone, it's great that the vast majority of you are happy with your results- well done!

GLaDOS

Congrats to all who got the course they wanted

donmeister

I ended up just getting a nice 260 points,:rolleyes: and I can say im quite happy with it,because I didn't do a tap for it!but I did work hard in higher Geography got a C1 and Im pretty disappointed at that to be honest definitely gonna appeal it!

I wonder what I would have got if I actually did work thoroughout the year?
Oh wellz...........:D

Congrats to everyone,as long as your happy with yer results,thats all that matters

Another reminder that boards.ie is not a true cross-section of society - particularly the LC and JC forums, which require internet access and a computer.

Don't ever be ashamed of your results - if you got 100 points and tried your best, it's something to be proud of.

Well done to all who got the results they deserved today.

Aye, true that. Was talking to a girl from my school last night who got 70 points, she's over the moon she passed the thing, her parents never thought she would, so it's a great achievement. A fair number of people in my school would be the first people in their family to be doing the LC etc., so it was great that most people yesterday got what they wanted, not even college-wise for many, but simply passing things.

Peleus

i needed 450+, thought i got 470 but actually got 555! i had never got over 500 in any of my school exams before and didnt think it was possible. but i got A1s in Maths, physics, applied maths and french. everything i need to be an engineer! (maybe even a french one)

Mermy

Got 580 so absolutely delighted!

Irish A1
Maths A1
French A1
Accounting A1
History A2
Chemistry A2
English B3????

I think Ive just about got arts in UCD!!!:)

Crania

I got 550 and I'm really delighted with that. Hopeully it'll be enough to get me into Law in Trinity, but I only got 5 points more than it was last year(545*), so I'm pretty nervous about Monday.

Irish(HL)-A2
Absolutely delighted with this, really didn't think I'd get more than a B. But I put a lot of work into Irish so I'm glad it paid off.

English(HL)-A2
Again, I was only expecting a B in this so very happy with the A2. I'm a bit surprised because I thought I actually did quite poor in English, especially Paper 2.

Geography(HL)-A1
I would've been so mad if I didn't get an A1 in Geography, so obviously delirah about this result!

History(HL)-A2
Little bit disappointed with this as I've been getting A1's all year so I'd like to take a look at my script but I'm happy with it all the same.

Economics(HL)-A2
Very happy with this as I thought I did quite poorly in the exam even though Econ was one of my strongest subjects, I thought I only got a B1.

German(HL)-A2
This result simply blew me away, couldn't believe it! Like I'm pretty decent at German but I was never an A student, it was always my weakest subject and often struggled to even get B's in it. Added to that, I came out of the exam so disappointed because I thought I did terribke, it was the only exam I was really disappointed about. So I just can't believe I ended up getting an A2 in it, I really don't know how that happened!

Maths(OL)-B2
Ah good auld Ordinary Level Maths, ha ha! I always knew I wouldn't count Maths so I dropped down and hardly even opened the book all year and I'm pretty terrible at Maths so I really dunno how that happened. I was actually really worried about failing Maths, that's how bad I thought I did.

Hopefully I'll get into Law in TCD, anyone else hoping to do that course? It's gonna be a nervous few days waiting on the offers....

NU8

Dunno if anyone still cares but Laura Brady (Irish Times exam diary) got 565. She plans to do dentistry.

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2008/0814/1218477549986.html

Piste

Would 565 not get her Medicine in RCSI or UCD? Or is she Trinity or nothing?

NU8

I thought so to but if you read her article she seems to have resigned herself to dentistry.

In fairness, after 5 years of leaving cert study, including 2 in a boarding school and 1 in a private place, I would expect to be getting near 600. Just my opinion.

raah!

You must be jealous of her.
