Official Pre/Mocks Leaving Cert Results thread 2009

K4t

Mock results don't matter that much imo. You don't want to peak too early.

Only biology came in today. Got 63% (HL, DEB). I'm quite happy about this, thou I'm hoping for at least a B1 in a real exam.

JSK 252

I got maths bumped a percent to 61 because of a marking error.

I got biology marked up a percent to 85 and got the A2 because of a marking error.

My teacher gave me 85 instead of 84 in english just for the hell of it and the fact that it was bizarre to end up with the same mark in both papers.

So finally:

English 85 A2
Irish 84 B1
Maths 61 C2
French 87 A2
Chemistry 83 B1
Biology 85 A2
Geography 86 and 1/2 A2

Its 530 which I must give myself a pat on the back for. I was slightly dissapoited that I didnt get at least 1 A1. I have to realise that there is a good 3 months left. Thats still a long time in the grand scale of things.

Pharmacy was 555* in UCC last year so Im aiming for 565. I will hopefully get it. My dream would be 580.

well you seem well capable of getting it, hope it works out for you!

JSK 252, you're doing so so well.
In my mocks last year I got 535, got a little complacent, and only went up 15 points.

Say no to complacency! It's an easy trap to fall into tbh.

I have't got any of my results back yet, only finished on Tuesday and haven't been in since...
Hopefully I did alright! Really want them back, but I assume it'll be ages yet.

English (H) C1 - 70
Irish (O) A2 - 50
Maths (O) C1 - 30
French (H) D2 - 50 <1 mark off a D1!!> :mad:
Biology (H) D2 - 50
Music (H) C1 - 70
Home Ec (H) B3 - 75

Total : 365

I'm short about 90-100 points.

Should have gotten
A's in H. Ec and Music,
High B in Eng, and Maths, Irish
And high C's in French and Bio

Higher level business - 53%. Best result in class, but I'm really unhappy about this .

Are you repeating your leaving cert? If so, with the goal of getting what second time?

Geography - 95%.
I fell down on the short questions. Who does that? Gets everything else right, but completely fecks up the easy bit!

I'm the same with maths, I spend too much time studying the difficult part c questions, in my pre I lost almost all my marks in either the part a or b. Its my own fault, I just get an idea in my head when I'm studying that if i can do the hard stuff then the relatively easier stuff should just take care of itself, which unfortunatley is not the case!:mad:

p.s. I am aware it's way too early to be on the internet, but I'm not a wierdo I swear! I was fasting all yesterday and I got up to have breakfast...MMMMMMMMM pancakes!!:D

Yeah, DEB . The paper was quite ok, but I still didn't find wtf does

charismatic management style

It's in our book - ability to inspire enthuasiasm among employees blah blah blah - comes under autocratic style of leadership.

Was it marked hard?

I wrote quite similarly to this, but I got, just four marks for this.
IMO it was marked quite hard. I thought I was quite ready for business... Still, three more months, I'm willing for at least 75%.

Eeeek, I did it as

a democratic leader.

And I wrote loads
Oh well, it shall just add to the general badness that will be my business result.

**** sorry, I meant democratic! Sorry

I'm leaving out units 4 and 5 for the mocks. Concentrating on the others. Is this wise?

I only finished my Pre's last week, so haven't really gotten any results back apart from..
Maths (H) - 81%. Really disappointed with this, but I did feck all work so I guess I deserved it! You can tell which questions I revised really obviously- Trig (50/50 on both questions), Complex Numbers (49/50), Integration (47/50) and.. yeah. Then there's the ones I didn't look at.. Probability (26/50 and 27/50. Differentiation.. 31/50. Errr...). Overall, with a bit of work, should be able to bring it up to my A1 in June.

Irish(H) - I'm on an A2, but I haven't got Paper2 back yet. Don't think I'll be able to bring it up to an A1 like i wanted in the Pre . My essay was a bit awful, I learned cúlú, so even though the essay was about

poverty

, I used my cúlú essay! Bah!
I'll A1 it for June, fingers crossed.

Fad

70% in Biology (HL)

Between 67 and 70% in Maths (OL) forgotten result and not really bother making sure.

I failed Physics, because I did absolutely no work whatsoever, havent gotten that back yet though, but I dont really need to know where I went wrong :P

French (HL) I have 30% so far, havent gotten the written paper back yet though.

Nothing else yet.

phasers

Maths (HL) : 66%

I'm delighted paper 1 was a nightmare so I wasn't expecting to do that well

Piste

I had my mock French oral today, brought down my grade Though I got my Music practical result which brought my grade up a few grades, so points wise they balanced eachother out.

Full marks in Trig?! :eek: You don't really need probability at all if you can do that.
