    IRISH (H) thought i done solid overall hoping for B1.
    ENGLISH (H) went very well looking for B2
    MATHS (O) alright B2 i'd say
    FRENCH (H) looking for B1/A2
    BIOLOGY (H) wanted A1 but looks like i might have to settle for B1/B2

    Maths (O): Went great, considering that I've never seen an OL maths paper in my life. hoping for at least a B.
    Irish (O): The exam was hilarious. If I don't get a B there will be prolems.
    English (H): Went well, the lack of Longley brought me down though. I'm thinking a B
    History (H): It went well I think, kind of hard to tell with history but I was happy.
    Biology (H): It went alright, never been really strong at bio but I think I may have scraped a C
    French (H): Good paper, very happy with it.

    I still have chemistry to do :( , which I am definitely going to fail.

    In fairness now it's your own fault for feeling bad about repeating since you probably didn't do enough work over the past 2 years where as all these guys have and did good exams as a result of that work.

    Let them enjoy the fruits of their labours, they've earned it

    Not to sound mean, but 'tis nobody's fault but your own.

    (I should know, I'm a repeat).

  • Registered Users Posts: 52 ✭✭XboxHero


    I'm by no means bragging, everyone has the right to be ecstatic when they finish, considering the awful year we just had.

    And those aren't my grades, that's what I hope to get. Could do much worse.

    Good Luck to anyone else still doing their exams, and congrats to those who finished.

    Oh I know, I'm sorry if I implied that you were, I didn't mean to! :)

    I cannot wait to be finished and I'm sure everybody is gonna be delighted when they are... unless someone likes exams... :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,362 ✭✭✭K4t


    My LC will end up being 3 bad exams and 3 good exams.
    ****ed up my best subject too. Wanted an A, will probably get a C.

    A bad LC so far but at least I have economics to look forward to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 73 ✭✭Saffy


    English(H) - went quite well I think. Hoping for a B3.
    Maths(O) - really don't know how that went. I'm not counting it but hoping for a C.
    Irish(H) - hoping for a C of any kind:)
    French(H) - went well. hoping for a B.
    Biology(H) - hoping for a B3/C1.

    Have Ag science(H)(hoping for a B) and Music(H)(hoping for an A1) left.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 483 ✭✭9wetfckx43j5rg


    I'm also finished, very happy about that!

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


    I think I did alright.Im hoping for
    English - b3/c1
    French - b3/c1
    Business - b3/c1
    Spanish -Im horrible at the moment but I hope to cram and get a c3
    religion - the same as spanish
    Bilology - ordinary level d2(obviously Im amazing at that:rolleyes:)

    I agree completely with a previous poster.You guys deserve to do well.You have probably put in a lot of work,fair play!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭OneArt


    Maths (F): Passed! I know I passed, that's all that matters. That's all I care about. I hate that subject with a passion and now I never have to do it again! :)

    English (H): I think I wrote a good composition... Basically about a cocaine-addicted alcoholic. I hope I got some kind of B. Thrilled Bishop came up.

    Irish (O): Hoping for at least 30 points in this... Wrote a lot. Dunno how much was relevant though.

    History (H): Painful in areas, like Irish history. Praying to Buddha for a B3

    Business (H): B3 would be nice, but C1 is okay. I wrote a hell of a lot... almost ran out of time. gotta count for something

    Biology (H): not as well as I expected... hopefully got a B3

    German next... Not too bothered. Again hoping for another B3 in that!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,089 ✭✭✭jefreywithonef


    English: Paper 1 could have gone better but I did fairly well in PII. B.
    Irish: Fecked up in stair na Gaeilge and certain parts of the aural. A2 / B
    Business: Bah, should have studied a lot more. C.
    History: As above, nothing that I had really studied in depth came up. B / C.
    Art: How I've loathed this subject for the past two years. C.
    Maths (O): Went by easy enough. B.
    French (O): Not sure. A/B/C.

    Overall, didn't do quite as well as I had hoped.


  • Registered Users Posts: 282 ✭✭manutd4life


    i'd rather not predict what grade i'd get

    irish (h): paper1 was alrite but paper2 was horrible.i didnt really study for paper2 because i had business on the same day
    maths (o):that was grand.paper1 ws easy.some tricky questions on paper2 though
    english(h):not bad.at least bishop came up
    business(h):after failing in the mocks i wanted to do well and i feel that i will get a good grade
    geography(h):some questions were tricky butoverall a good exam hopefully
    history(h):not so good but not so bad either.the context question i only wrote half a page and i only wrote 2 pages for each of my essays but you never know

    finished tomorrow with german

    Irish (H) - I've really no idea how this went. The oral was pretty good, as was paper I. However my aural was disastrous and I left out all of prose by accident in paper II.... I'd be lucky with a B really...

    English (H) - I was hoping very much so for an A but I probably didn't get it. I didn't get half of the unseen poem finished, and I'm not convinced as to the quality of my Keats and Comparative essay. Still, I don't think I got below a B2/B1. If I do worse I'll be extremely disappointed.

    French (H) - A fantastic written and aural paper! I was thrilled with how yesterday went. My oral exam was a nightmare however, with my examiner throwing me off with really random questions, and my lack of a subjunctive. Hopefully a B of some description

    Maths (o) - I dropped at the last minute to OL out of fear so I found the maths exam pretty easy. I learned simpsons rule over the weekend and chose vectors as my option for paper 2 so all went well (and having seen the HL paper afterwards I'm convinced I made a good choice!). I'd imagine I got a fairly high grade in this

    So just chemistry, accounting and music left (all HL). I hate the way my exams are so spread out, they're really dragging! I envy everyone who's already finished *sigh*


  • Registered Users Posts: 169 ✭✭GVNDNN


    English (H): Went okay, kinda ****ed up my poetry question but hopefully a B3

    Irish (O): Hopefully a B, was grand but my oral wasn't the best

    French (O): Change to Ordinary on the day after a severe panic attack haha but hopefully it was okay

    Maths (O): Okay....

    Geography (H): Was aiming for an A2, But hopefully i got a B

    Biology (H): F HAHAH Ah no i don't know, wasn't my finest hour :(

    Economics (H): Haven't done it but going to work my ass off till Wednesday
