5th year summer results!

gaeilge-abú

hey! how'd all you 5th years do in your summer exams? Can these results be of guidance to what you can achieve in the LC do you think?

Finical

Depends how hard the tests were etc. I remember teachers in my school used give us great ''hints'' for them, but sure good results can indicate some positivity anyways.

all my tests wer exams questions and in some cases full exam papers!

Curlyhatescurls

I don't really think so tbh, the leaving cert is a whole YEAR away from ye and a LOT can(and cannot) happen in a year, I'd say next years Christmas results will be more of a pointer

I did nothing for 5th year summer tests, failed a few. Went into 6th year, did some work & results improved significantly. As an example, failed geography last summer, then got a B at christmas.

Don't put too much emphases on them. They are forgotten about when you go into 6th year.

God id hate to have the whole of 6th year ahead of me......................sucks to be you

No. I did zero study in 5th year, and only aced maths and accounting. Now I'm hoping for 6 A1s, and confident of 5 of them.

Aoifums

Mine came today
English - C3
Irish - B3
Maths - A1
French - D1
Biology - A2 - 89%. So freakin' close to an A1!!!
Physics - B1
Home Ec - A2
I'm so upset over English. I know I screwed up my essay and I was a little lost for time during the comparative but I thought I did better. And I put a lot of work into French
I aced Home Ec though! I did so little work during the year! But I worked my ass off for Physics and I did pretty damn good!
I wil lhave a lot more work done by this time next year. And I should have better timing, especially in English.

_Exasperated_

To those who are doing the leaving next year:
Good luck . Don't slack off like I did lol. You're gonna struggle in June.

The SEC appears to be trying to stop predicitons so students will have to focus on everything not just certain questions! Be warned about predictions!

It is up to people to believe them or not. Predictions are predictions they might might be right but at the same time they might be wrong.

Well for 5th yrs its not too important to study for summer tests like not much depends on them and this doesnt give any student incentive to "properly" study! Well i finished my leaving today and i feel i did very well.

In my 5th year summer tests i got:

• ENGLISH - D3
• ECONOMICS - D2
• MATHS - A1
• PHYSICS - E1
• SPANISH - B2
• GEOGRAPHY - B2
• IRISH - E1

In my mocks i got

• ENGLISH - C1
• ECONOMICS - C1
• MATHS - C1
• PHYSICS - D3
• SPANISH - B1
• GEOGRAPHY - C3
• IRISH - D2

And now i feel i got the following grades in my leaving:

• ENGLISH - B2
• ECONOMICS - A2
• MATHS - B2
• PHYSICS - C3
• SPANISH - B1-A2
• GEOGRAPHY - B1-A2
• IRISH - C3

My point anyway is that i wasnt the dedicated type until i went into sixth year. I applied to UCAS (English CAO) and they give you a list of grades and i was faced with pretty high grades to achieve in order to get my course so i studied so so so hard! Woke up at 4am every morning during my exams to get that extra cramming in and it seemed to have worked!



Fifth years, people will say to you that you should have studied in fifth year but the truth is contrary to what people get in their summer tests i think that to start in sixth year is ok but try to avail of revision courses and decent revision books.

Good luck next year fifth years, trust me....ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!!!!

This makes me sad.
It makes me feel like I'm going to physically combust through the year or something like this

Personally I wouldn't place too much emphasise on 5th year results-mine were an absolute disaster largely due to working 25hrs a week every week during 5th year!

muffinz

my fifth year results were awful, i epicly failed physics, and got a low C in spanish... spanish is now my second best subject, and im pretty sure i got a D in physics

Scoobydooo

Believe me it's not half as bad as it's made out to be. Few weeks before the tests are a struggle but I had great craic this year.

ah well it was in the low 400s last year.
But it's a new enough course in NUIG so it'll probably go up
