My examiner was really nice and for some reason loved my terrible paper one short story. He/She also overlooked some spelling errors.

If I had no spellingmistakes would have gotten an A. Bummer...

An A1 in english is so easy though. Being a beast at paper 1 is the key, do NOT neglect preparing for that.

Not meaning to rain on any parades, but mock results are often not very accurate, particularly with subjects like English.

I must admit that I'm disappointed with my results so far! I know they're only the Mocks and they're badly corrected etc. but compared with other people in my school's results, they're not great (all HL)...

Maths - 60%
Irish - 81%
Biology - 78%

My Irish teacher thinks I should have got a lot more, she's not impressed at all, so she's going to get it recorrected

That's a good mock result. When I was doing my LC around 13 out of 15 in the class failed, but everyone got As/Bs/Cs in the real thing. I went from a C3 to an A1. HL Maths has so many different topics that it's nearly impossible to have everything revised for the mocks.

falala

omg yous all got really good results fair play!
2% gone for margins, crazy!
i'd complain if i lost marks for that in english!
60% maths dude, thats brilliant! you'l defo get an a1

Can someone explain to me what this margin thing is about? Is this an Irish language thing or are ye actually talking about typography?

I think he/she is talking about actual margins, on answerbooks. Having said that, to lose marks for margins is ludacris - it wouldn't happen in the real thing (well of course not, considering you get the ruled booklets, but you get my meaning). What section of the Irish paper were the marks deducted? Paper 1, Paper 2, Listening :rolleyes:. Your teacher sounds ridiculous.

Ah, I've never heard of some losing marks for something like that before.

...Although I did hear of someone losing marks for drawing caricatures of Hitler and Stalin on the back page of their history script...

oh yeah sorry....we had to provide our own paper which was a surprise to me so all that was left was the A0 size from the art room. It never occured to me to just fold it over twice and cut with ruler giving me 4 A4's so I happily wrote away on my A0 for x hours. I wanted to keep the margins in proportion to the size of the page thereby maintaining the integrity and respect of the examination. My teacher thought I was taking the michael so he docked 2 off my 40. And no it wasn't higher but thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt

http://www2.cao.ie/app_scoring/points_stats/LC09PTS.pdf yes it is. In 2009 it would have put you in the top 17.9% of candidates

In my school teachers correct the mocks.Its not your own teacher but another teacher in the school who teaches the same subject.
