Higher Level English - Bad results?

And your dead rite. Jesus you sound like me. Long lost sibling? haha
Seriously though, I can understand your drive for english. Personally, I loved it and it just seemed to come out of nowhere. I got my A1 yesterday and it was one of the only results that I wanted the top marks in. Like you, I put in a lot of time and effort into it and I just wanted to reap the seeds I'd laid down. View it sure, and like you said, if there is any doubt u should b upgraded, get it reviewed.
I would, however, get a different english teacher to review it with you because its clear your normal teacher really likes your work. Get a fresh set of eyes to be sure
Yah English was my passion, it was undeniably my favorite subject. I was even thinking of studying it next year i liked it so much. Well done on the a1, fair play to you I have my course points anyway so its fine, but it would be nice to get upgraded, as it was my best subject. Thank's for the advice on a new teacher viewing, my teacher literally admired my style, so there could have been some prejudice towards me. A fresh perspective i think will clarify my concerns and the situation. Cheers

I came out thinking I'd be happy with a C2 at the most - then I got an A2 :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: i actually haven't still gotten over the shock of it tbh....
English has to be the greatest load of sh!te though because it is so subjective - I think I'm going to go to view the script just to see was there a mistake in adding up the marks or something :P
and the best part - I didn't revise king lear or the comparatives
i couldn't even remember any of the names of any of the Mundy sisters in Dancing at Lughansa and I'm sure I left out big tracts of King Lear in my answer as well - but saying that in both answers I do think I stuck straight to the question and didn't waffle at all - because I didn't know the story well enough to waffle but that's besides the point.....
also I wrote a letter for the comprenhsion on Al Gore and my eassy ended up being an extended version of this letter sooooo - dunno if every examiner would be impressed by that now lol
Never in my life was I as surprised - it's the first time I've ever gotten an A in English like in my second level education - and most of the time I was in the low Bs at the very best so....
Whoever corrected mine - Thanking you you threw my leaving cert points total way over what I was expecting to get at the very best :D:D 0 -

I went down in loads of my mock results - but they were corrected by our own teachers so it's not an accurate reflection of anything. Plus I knew what was coming up for a lot of them. I regret that now -it lulled me into a false sense of security.0 -

In the same boat as yous. Went down from a B3 in mocks to C2 in the real, gutted thought I might go up to an A even. I also don't want my teacher to see my paper either but no alternative really.0
