    I'm repeating now, and got 465 in last years mocks (couldn't do the leaving cert last year, so forced to repeat), so i'd be looking for a bit more than that anyway!

    It is waaaaaaaaaaaay too early to bother about this!


    Id say around 400 though.

    Yeah, mad early, and also... the mocks aren't really about getting x points. Okay, they're a good tool for basing study around etc., but it's more about exam technique. Timing, etc. Experiencing the atmosphere. Obviously treat them as close to the real thing as you can to get the best out of them, but there's a good chance you won't even have the courses of your subjects done by the time the mocks come around...

    460

    I agree with PFM too, however they are the last real exam before the big one so it would be nice to do well!

    Last year I got 505 in the mocks. This year I'm studying so as to know everything for the mocks, just as a sort of checkpoint. Only thing is, the stupid HPAT is the week before my school holds the mocks, so it's going to be hard, trying to prepare in some god-only-knows-what way for that and the mocks at the same time! HPATs the priority though. *agitated*
