    For anyone interested in UCC Arts.....I just called the Mature Students Office and asked about the 2010 cutoff mark for the Arts course. She wasn't positive but she thought it was 89. Now 87 was the mark for 2009 so there was only a 2 point jump. I'm hoping it doesn't jump too much this year. The phone call has made me feel a little bit better :)

    Good score, I got 118 myself, bit annoyed with section 2 as that let me down badly, but am content overall... with 124 i can't imagine you not getting into the courses you want. So fair play:D

    I have no idea man, but I think i have heard (read in threads here i mean) 100 is about what's needed for arts so i think you should be relatively optomistic-- i honestly have no real idea of the procedure but i sincerely hope it is in your case. I would have thought they were using this system to eliminate those who might not have what it takes for university standard arts based programmes... and then interview the rest and give a percentage of those interviewed a place?

    I honestly think basing a college place singularily on one test is nothing short of madness. So i hope its being used in the way i described.

    In any case good luck to you!!
