    800.......really shooting high here

    Two lads in my school going for it aswell, they will honestly probably get it. They both got 5A1s and 3A2s in their pres.
    If your serious good luck though.

    Im aiming for 510 but id be ecstatic to hit the 500 mark. But i dont think i would be crying or anything if i got over 460 i think thats really good, but for my first 2 choices i need 500+ to get in comfortably. got 440 in the mocks.



    U guys think its possible to go up from mocks by 60 points?


  • Registered Users Posts: 362 ✭✭postalservice

    Guy in my school got no As in the pres last year but got 600pts(out of 600!) in the real thing...just so you know

    I flippin' hope so!!!

    460 would be perfect, but really 400 or over is fine. Most of my courses including my first choice are all 350, but really just as long as I get a course that involves German I don't really care what I get! :P

    I'm aiming for 400 to get arts. I'm not sure what I want to do though so I chose this as it is a broad area. Hopefully I can find a more specific course.

    800.......really shooting high here.....confident though so long as it all goes to plan! XD

    Theoretical Physics in trinity is 500!

    Need about 350. Got 280 in the mocks (failed HL Geog by 3%)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 81 ✭✭i'm a smiler


    Well, I got 555 in mocks, need about 565, aiming for 570. In reality though I feel i'm definitely going to do worse in the real thing than my pres!
    Which is totally going to kill me!! It's not that I'm not working as hard it's just that in some of my subjects, I feel I'm banging my head against a brick wall. I just can't "nail" them, so to speak! oh well, we'll see....


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Well I'm only in 5th year atm. But I usually do a bit of study every day after school. Take down some notes etc. So I'm hoping for over 300 for Enterprise Computing in DCU

    I need 500 or there about for psychology in ucd .If that fails 450 will suffice for psychology and science in maynooth.
    Same as that, would love UCD but have maynooth down too. Is it not 460 points for psych and science though?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭SligoBrewer


    Meh. Whatever I'll get I'll slide into an appropriate course. Got 355 in the Mock, failed 2. I'd be happy with 480 ish to guide me into Phil/Irish in TCD or even happy enough to let me into Socio/Irish. Points. They ain't important.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,361 ✭✭✭bythewoods


    Points. They ain't important.

    Unless you don't get enough to do any of your preferred courses. Then they take on a massive significance.

    500 definitely very possible. I know people who worked hard for the mockslast year and got 400 and then got 500 in June.

    you have not peaked!!!!

    anything over 300


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 162 ✭✭irishmonkey


    I need 850...

    but half of those are from a portfolio ;)
    Which i wont get the result of until the end of may.

    It all depends on how many points i get from it.
    I could need anything from 350 to 500 points!

    Im aiming for 450 tho.. got 385 in the mocks.

    If your studying towards the LC most days after school in 5th year, id say your not gonna have any problems!:cool:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭celtic723


    hoping for 450 as i want to do Science in TCD. some stiff competition out there from what i've been told.


  • Registered Users Posts: 131 ✭✭Nihilist21


    I'm hoping for around 500, I only need about 355 for my course though so I'll be fine in that respect.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭xOxSinéadxOx


    ^ people like you I don't get. why would you bother working for 500 when you only need 350?:confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭PurpleFistMixer


    Ever heard of something called "ambition", or "motivation", or "I don't want to spend my life being mediocre, doing only the minimum required and never really excelling at anything, never taking an interest, or never being bothered"?

    ... Ahem. It's nice to feel like you've done yourself proud.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,231 ✭✭✭Fad


    The Leaving Cert is kinda a qualification too, I got 500 sounds a damn sight better than I got 355.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭poisonated


    yeah but "fad" I dont think people are really going to care about what you got in the leaving cert if you have gone on to get a good qualification.Jesus fad give us a break!I dont get people like you!!!:mad:







    :pac:
