Yeah, I agree. That's impossible. If someone's getting Ds and Es in (WAY easier) class tests, and then come out with a really high mark, they have to have known something. I totally disagree with knowing what's on the mocks before you have them. Isn't it a bit of a risk? How do you know what company you're gonna get? And isn't it SUCH a waste of money paying for them to be corrected if you cheat? Isn't it better to do really bad, realise you need to work, and then work really hard for the rest of the year and get a good LC? No one cares what you got in your mocks.
I haven't come across anyone in my classes doing strangely well in the exams yet. Then again, before the mocks, all of the teachers were telling us not to look up the paper, but honestly, nobody had a clue what they were on about! No one knew how to get the papers unless you knew someone in a different school! Typical, word got around about boards AFTER the mocks.
Just shows how isolated we are from the rest of the country here in the wesht! :P:P:P
I've got a few of my mocks back.
Doing all higher, so far.
Irish- 91
French- 90
(No, I didn't cheat. That's all I'm good at! :P)
Maths- 79 (thanks to the easy paper 1)
English- 81 (marked WAY too easy IMO)
The worst to come!
My Home Ec teacher told me she'd be surprised if I passed.

English (H) 88% A2. I'm a repeat though, so I'd say I can get an A1 come June,like last year.
French (H) 89% A2. A mark off an A1. A single,solitary mark.
Physics (H) 80% B1.
Economics (H) 89% A2.

Oh God no, medicine is not the course for me at all! I'm hoping to do the BCL Maitrise in UCD, which was 550 points last year (I think) so I'm aiming for 575. An increase of 110 points from last year....
Well done with your results btw, they're excellent! Ye're all doing really well. 0 -

Add chemistry to that:
Chemistry (H) 86% A2.
Just have to get Irish back now. If I can bump up my A2s to A1s in June, I'll be happy. 0 -
Finally got my english back today, bit disapointed as I thought it was marked pretty harshly Adding that to my others I got 430 overall which i'm happy about. Don't think it ill get me science in Trinity next year though so i'm hoping it improves a lot! 0

Which one did you have? I had the examcraft one and thought it was tricky and not really typical of an economics exam, sort of ambiguous in places. But having seen the DEB one the other day, it was fairly easy. That said though, if you got an A1 in it you're set, you know?
Judging by your results if you keep up the good work you'll get your points. Just don't get complacent-trust me on that one.

Yeah we had the DEB it was quite easy seperatd questions on S+D and Elasticity-our teacher kept me and he other lad who got an A1 back after class to tell us not to get over confident.
What market structure question came up on examcraft? It was oligopoly on DEB0 -

Yeah, a few people in my class thought we were getting DEB and had the paper beforehand, I didn't look at it but when we got handed the paper their faces were priceless. My teacher gave it to us there on Monday to look at, lovely long questions indeedy.
Honestly,I BSed so much in that exam that I was expecting a C or a low B so I have no idea where that A2 came from. The question were stilted and rather awkwardly phrased, 'twas weird.
Aye, I got an A1 in my mock last year in economics and a B3 in the real thing. You don't want that to happen to you. 0 -
