In comparison to the Mocks?

    Just wondering how people's results compared too their mock results?

    I for one went from B3 to A1s in geography and History, C2 to A2 in Business and B2 to A2 in Economics all higher level.

    I went from an E to a C3 in Irish and a B3 to a B1 in maths at ordinary level.

    In fact the only subject my grades didn't go up in was Honors English B3.

    Needless to say am delighted to get 500 points :D up from around 400 in the mocks? Did anyone else have similar increases in their results?

    200 in Mocks. 350 in LC possibly 370 if LCVP appeal is won.

    Went up 130 points from the mocks.
    Mocks are a piece of crap anyway, marked terribly.

    465 to 490, and that was after looking up the questions to nearly every Mock exam on boards. :p Delighted. :D

    I went from 340 to 420. The only thing thats slightly nagging is I didn't get my A in history and my accounting dropped from B1 to C2.

    Went up from 515 to 580. Very happy!

    I went down 30 points :o

    Note to incoming 6th year students - do not attempt to find out what questions are coming up in your mocks - it leads you to do well and lulls you into a false sense of security for the real thing.

    Having said that our mocks were quite easy and marked by our own teachers, so a significant advantage over the real thing.

    I went from 60 points in the mocks to 240 in the real L.C

    I went from passing just one subject on the mocks (B in OL English) to getting five honors and two passes on the Leaving Cert. Big jump there, lol.

    can't believe the amount of people in my school that got only a Pass in Links...teachers were certain we would get Merits but nope:mad:

    I got 310 and Multimedia last year was 325 so I will certainly be appealing this.

    I went from 0 to 140. A great personal improvement from failing all my exams to getting good to high passes in all my exams, except French, which killed it for me.

    I'd say there's a lot of bias in the mocks, considering I've never passed an English exam since 3rd year, it was a shock to me when I went from 37% in the mocks to 70-74% in the real exam.

    Irish HL C2-C1
    English HL C2-C1
    Maths HL D3-D3
    French HL C1-C2
    History HL B1-B3
    Geo HL A2-B2
    Acc HL D2-C1

    Went up from 425 to 430. A bit dissapointed really. Got the points for Journalism which were 405 but needed a B3 in English. Will definetly get it rechecked. Same for Geo and History. Would have expected the same as the pre. Delighted with Acc especially that I got about 10 marks out of 80 in the final section. Pity the predicted stuff didnt come up. Could have got a B1.
