Oh well it's done now. I got my Q1 to balance but it turns out it was the wrong balance. I wonder will I have lost many marks? I hope not - I'm thinking I should have done the two 60 marks. Cash Flow and Creditors Control are very easy

Your mother is an accounting teacher - what did she make of it?

Ara whats done is done. The two 60 markers were a dream though. I did Cashflow and Depreciation and i am sure I got full marks in them.

I reckon it was the length of the Service which threw people off, and the predicted questions not coming up in the 80 markers. I did Cash budgeting, but I would have been able to do q8, our accounting teacher had been hearing rumours something like that would come up, so we were all well prepared.

Accounting was definitely the worst.
OL Maths paper 1 was surprisingly tough too.

Worst for me are probably: Accounting, Irish Paper 2, Maths P1.

And chemistry.

I'd say it was a toos up between Business and Biology, my two best subjects. I wasn't expecting a lot of the questions and didn't know how to answer a good few of them as I hadn't covered some things in class. Disappointing : (

Yeah, I;m a tad dissapointed with Business. It's easily my best subject. I deserve an A for the workload I put in, but the paper turned out to be weird, so I'd say I got a B.

Biology was quite handy I thought. Some weird bits too, but overall I liked it.

Chemistry.

I agree, that's exactly how I felt about Business. I always did well in class tests and the mocks but The questions threw me off. Especially the ones that had two parts so you didn't know where the marks were going

If only they could see all of the hard work we put in over the last few years!

Ditto. All the work, and god dammit there was a lot of it, came down to nothing. I might as well have done nothing after Christmas, I'd say I did better in my mocks. Thats why I hate Business, it all depends on the day. For the other theory subjects like history and geography they've put on project work and they need to do the same with Business.

Really disappointed with Chemistry, all okay apart from that!

Sophsxxx · 22-06-2010 8:20pm

Biology! I put a lot of work in but completely blanked in the exam...was raging with myself. :mad:
Business I thought would have gone better...oh well!

Grace16 · 22-06-2010 9:26pm

Was a bit disappointed with accounting, maths paper 1 and geography. It's really annoying because i'm like an "a" student in geography for the past 2 years and was expecting an "a" in it but i just blanked especially when they asked about metamorphic rocks cause i only have a tiny bit of that in my book. Would have loved 475 for teaching but know that i didn't get that so hopefully over 360 for arts degree.

Princess3 · 22-06-2010 9:28pm

Probably Accounting for me and some parts from the Maths papers.

pinkfish · 22-06-2010 9:33pm

Accounting By a clear mile.

Higher Maths Paper 2 ... just horrible

ChristianLC · 23-06-2010 1:09pm

Ordinary Maths paper 1 by far. It was really hard and I was not expecting it to be so difficult. I hope it gets marked a little easier seen as many agreed on how difficult it was but even then I can't see me getting a pass in Maths because I did a terrible job on it.
